不可观测选择集下离散选择模型的识别与估计AI 解读

We propose a framework for nonparametric identification and estimation of discrete choice models with unobserved choice sets. We recover the joint distribution of choice sets and preferences from a cross-section of repeated choices. We assume that either the latent choice sets are sparse or that the number of repeated choices is sufficiently large. Sparsity requires the number of possible choice sets to be relatively small. It is satisfied, for instance, when the choice sets…

价格、利润、代理变量与生产AI 解读

This paper studies nonparametric identification and counterfactual bounds for heterogeneous firms that can be ranked in terms of productivity. Our approach works when quantities and prices are latent, rendering standard approaches inapplicable. Instead, we require observation of profits or other optimizing-values such as costs or revenues, and either prices or price proxies of flexibly chosen variables. We extend classical duality results for price-taking firms to a setup…

具有潜在特殊协变量的多项选择模型识别与估计AI 解读

Identification of multinomial choice models is often established by using special covariates that have full support. This article shows how these identification results can be extended to a large class of multinomial choice models when all covariates are bounded. I also provide a new n-consistent asymptotically normal estimator of the finite-dimensional parameters of the model.
