gnriv.control

Allows the user to modify convergence parameters of Gauss Newton algorithm used in the <code>gnriv</code> function

Estimation of gross output production functions and productivity in the presence of numerous fixed (nonflexible) and a single flexible input using the nonparametric identification strategy specified in Gandhi, Navarro, and Rivers (2020) <doi:10.1086/707736>. Monte Carlo evidence from the paper demonstrates high performance in estimating production function elasticities.
