We present an approach to nonparametric estimation of pseudo-values in asymmetric affiliated private values (APV) models for first price auctions that eliminates the 'curse of dimensionality.' We show that pseudo-values can be estimated by using two-dimensional functions of bids for APV models regardless of the form of asymmetry. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
