Abstract
We develop a variance reduction method for the seemingly unrelated (SUR) kernel estimator of Wang (2003) . We show that the quadratic interpolation method introduced in Cheng et al. (2007) works for the SUR kernel estimator. For a given point of estimation, Cheng et al. (2007) define a variance reduced local linear estimate as a linear combination of classical estimates at three nearby points. We develop an analogous variance reduction method for SUR kernel estimators in clustered/longitudinal models and perform simulation studies which demonstrate the efficacy of our variance reduction method in finite sample settings.
