Risk and insurance in village India: comment

The research using household level data to measure risk-sharing is subject to a certain degree of data and measurement error. Sampling reveals that co-movement in consumption is influenced by several factors, including consumptions on different levels and income changes.

A study of nonparametric factors in a multivariate nonparametric relationship reveals that two methods may be used for making inferences in the number of factors in a multivariate nonparametric relationship. One method involves power series estimation and the normalized roots of a determinantal equation. Another method involves kernel methods in determining factors.
