Quasi‐rational and ex ante price expectations in commodity supply models: an empirical analysis of the US broiler market

Abstract A statistically optimal inference about agents' ex ante price expectations within the US broiler market is derived using futures prices of related commodities along with a quasi‐rational forecasting regression equation. The modelling approach, which builds on a Hamilton‐type framework, includes endogenous production and allows expected cash price to be decomposed into anticipated and unanticipated components. We therefore infer the relative importance of various informational sources in expectation formation. Results show that, in addition to the quasi‐rational forecast, the true supply shock, future prices, and ex post commodity price forecast errors have, at times, been influential in broiler producers' price expectations.

This work studies how Bayesian machine learning methods can be used for large-scale demand estimation with many product categories. I compare two model classes, a latent factorization model and a mixed logit model and two Bayesian estimation approaches, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Variational Inference (VI). The analysis combines a simulation study with an application to supermarket scanner data. The results show that the latent factorization model benefits from…

When credible instruments are scarce or estimates hinge on instrument choice, an alternative to the leading Berry--Levinsohn--Pakes (BLP) approach to demand estimation with aggregate data can be useful. We propose a Bayesian random-coefficients discrete-choice demand estimator that jointly recovers preference parameters and market--product demand shocks under a sparsity restriction, without requiring instrumental variables. Shrinkage priors select a sparse set of active…

We study fairness in decision-making when the data may encode systematic bias. Existing approaches typically impose fairness constraints while predicting the observed decision, which may itself be unfair. We propose a novel framework for characterising and addressing fairness issues by introducing the notion of desert decision, a latent variable representing the decision an individual rightfully deserves based on their actions, efforts, or abilities. This formulation shifts…

We develop a generally applicable full‐information inference method for heterogeneous agent models, combining aggregate time series data and repeated cross‐sections of micro data. To handle unobserved aggregate state variables that affect cross‐sectional distributions, we compute a numerically unbiased estimate of the model‐implied likelihood function. Employing the likelihood estimate in a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm, we obtain fully efficient and valid Bayesian…

从数据中学习基于主体的模型AI 解读

Agent-Based Models (ABMs) are used in several fields to study the evolution of complex systems from micro-level assumptions. However, ABMs typically can not estimate agent-specific (or "micro") variables: this is a major limitation which prevents ABMs from harnessing micro-level data availability and which greatly limits their predictive power. In this paper, we propose a protocol to learn the latent micro-variables of an ABM from data. The first step of our protocol is to…

Demand Models With Random Partitions

具有随机分组的需求模型AI 解读

Many economic models of consumer demand require researchers to partition sets of products or attributes prior to the analysis. These models are common in applied problems when the product space is large or spans multiple categories. While the partition is traditionally fixed a priori, we let the partition be a model parameter and propose a Bayesian method for inference. The challenge is that demand systems are commonly multivariate models that are not conditionally conjugate…
