Abstract	Two essays are focused on semiparametric econometric methods. The first essay investigates applicability of the smooth back tting estimator (SBE) to statistical analysis of residential energy consumption. The second essay attempts to incorporate additivity restrictions into semiparametric stochastic frontier estimation. The procedure described in the first study is used to estimate the directional regressions for each of the additive components. These estimates are used as a pilot for stochastic frontier estimation. The essay contains an empirical study of power generating units in the US.
