Give the gift of unconditional love to your inner child with this unique self-care tool, part of the bestselling Letters to . . . series. Write. Reflect. Grow. With this keepsake collection of 12 letters, you fill each note with a message to your inner child that only your adult self could impart. Once complete, you can postdate the letters and seal them with the included stickers. Stash the collection away in a place of safekeeping--perhaps a location your childhood self would love and cherish, like a treehouse or time capsule--and return to it later when you need a reminder of why you have always deserved love. Included are 12 letters with thoughtful and evocative prompts, such as: As an adult, I can now give myself these important things I did not receive as a child . . . If I could go back and whisper a few things into my teenage ear . . . I am living proof of my own resilience. I have grown by . . . If I let my inner child come out and play, they want to . . .

The majority of empirical research in economics ignores the potential benefits of nonparametric methods, while the majority of advances in nonparametric theory ignore the problems faced in applied econometrics. This book helps bridge this gap between applied economists and theoretical nonparametric econometricians. It discusses in depth, and in terms that someone with only one year of graduate econometrics can understand, basic to advanced nonparametric methods. The analysis starts with density estimation and motivates the procedures through methods that should be familiar to the reader. It then moves on to kernel regression, estimation with discrete data, and advanced methods such as estimation with panel data and instrumental variables models. The book pays close attention to the issues that arise with programming, computing speed, and application. In each chapter, the methods discussed are applied to actual data, paying attention to presentation of results and potential pitfalls.
