含滞后因变量的离散选择模型的非参数识别AI 解读

Variation in covariates can be used to nonparametrically identify a discrete choice model with a lagged dependent variable and discrete unobserved heterogeneity (Kasahara and Shimotsu, 2009; Browning and Carro, 2014). In some cases the number of support points of the unobserved heterogeneity distribution is restricted only by the number of points of support in the distribution of the covariates. This paper provides conditions under which these models can be identified with…

利用测验分数控制能力AI 解读

Summary This paper proposes a semiparametric method to control for ability using standardized test scores, or other item response assessments, in a regression model. The proposed method is based on a model in which the parameter of interest is invariant to monotonic transformations of ability. I show that the estimator is consistent as both the number of observations and the number of items on the test grow to infinity. I also derive conditions under which this estimator is…

利用未观测异质性的二元代理识别内生非可分模型AI 解读

In this paper, I study identification of a nonseparable model with endogeneity arising due to unobserved heterogeneity. Identification relies on the availability of binary proxies that can be used to control for the unobserved heterogeneity. I show that the model is identified in the limit as the number of proxies increases. The argument does not require an instrumental variable that is excluded from the outcome equation nor does it require the support of the unobserved…
