Identification of Semiparametric Panel Multinomial Choice Models with Infinite-Dimensional Fixed Effects
具有无限维固定效应的半参数面板多项选择模型识别
Abstract This paper proposes a robust method for semiparametric identification and estimation in panel multinomial choice models, where we allow for infinite-dimensional fixed effects that enter into consumer utilities in an additively nonseparable way, thus incorporating rich forms of unobserved heterogeneity. Our identification strategy exploits multivariate monotonicity in parametric indices, and uses the logical contraposition of an intertemporal inequality on choice…
