The random-coefficient demand model of Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes (1995) is commonly estimated by the generalized method of moments (GMM), using an unconditional moment restriction with a fixed set of instruments. Identification of the model, however, rests on a conditional moment restriction. The two are not equivalent: the unconditional restriction may admit additional parameter values. We construct a counterexample in which the model is identified by the conditional restriction yet standard GMM is not, even with the optimal instrument. Building directly on the identifying restriction, we propose a two-step estimator, following Ai and Chen (2003), that first estimates the relevant conditional expectations nonparametrically and then selects the structural parameters by a conditional-variance-weighted minimum-distance criterion; standard GMM is recovered as the special case of a linear projection onto finitely many instruments. We establish root-T asymptotic normality for the proposed estimator, and we develop the theory for both kernel and series implementations of the first stage. The two implementations share a common limiting distribution, attaining the semiparametric efficiency bound. Simulation evidence illustrates the consequences of the identification gap and demonstrates that the proposed estimator outperforms standard GMM in finite samples.
总量需求随机系数 Logit 模型的半非参数估计
In this paper, we propose a two-step semi-nonparametric estimator for the widely used random coefficients logit demand model. The approach applies to the same setup as Berry et al. (1995, BLP)-type of models with many products, but has the advantage of not requiring computing demand inversion. In particular, the first step of our approach estimates the fixed coefficients via a computationally very easy linear sieve generalized method of moments (GMM). The second step…
半参数多层样本选择模型的识别与估计
Many selection problems are multilayered: agents first decide whether to participate and then sort among ordered or unordered categories. This paper shows that the sorting layer changes the geometry of identification. Unlike binary selection, in which selection bias can be summarized by a scalar control function, ordered and multinomial sorting generally produce multi-index control functions whose dimension determines the continuous covariate variation needed for…
多维类型保险模型的计量分析
In this paper, we address the identification and estimation of insurance models where insurees have private information about their risk and risk aversion. The model includes random damages and allows for several claims, while insurees choose from a finite number of coverages. We show that the joint distribution of risk and risk aversion is nonparametrically identified despite bunching due to multidimensional types and a finite number of coverages. Our identification…
选择不可观测时动态结构模型的识别与估计
This paper develops identification and estimation methods for dynamic discrete choice models when agents’ actions are unobserved by econometricians. We provide conditions under which choice probabilities and latent state transition rules are nonparametrically identified with a continuous state variable in a single-agent dynamic discrete choice model. Our identification strategy from the baseline model can extend to models with serially correlated unobserved heterogeneity,…
理性疏忽离散选择模型的识别
This paper studies the non-parametric identification and estimation of an empirical rational inattention discrete choice model. Decision-makers do not observe their realized utility perfectly but can obtain a costly signal to inform them about the utility. This model nests the standard discrete choice model as a special case. We characterize the identified set of decision-makers’ prior beliefs based on cross-sectional market-level choice probabilities. We show that the…
刻画精神障碍决策行为的半参数逆强化学习方法
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the leading causes of disability-adjusted life years. Emerging evidence indicates the presence of reward processing abnormalities in MDD. An important scientific question is whether the abnormalities are due to reduced sensitivity to received rewards or reduced learning ability. Motivated by the probabilistic reward task (PRT) experiment in the EMBARC study, we propose a semiparametric inverse reinforcement learning (RL) approach to…
