No 1288, Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers from Cowles Foundation, Yale University

Abstract: In this paper we introduce a family of semi-parametric estimators, suggested by Manski's minimum mean-square distance from independence estimator. We establish the strong consistency, asymptotic normality and consistency of bootstrap estimates of the sampling distribution and the asymptotic variance of these estimators.
