We develop a model of competition in prices and infrastructure among mobile network operators. Consolidation can increase market power, but economies of scale, which we derive from physical principles, lead to more efficient data transmission. Estimating our model with French consumer and...

Dynamic discrete choice (DDC) models are not identified nonparametrically, but the non-identification of models does not necessarily imply the nonidentification of counterfactuals. We derive novel results for the identification of counterfactuals in DDC models, such as non-additive changes in...

There has long been a consensus among scholars and union-side practitioners that the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) is under-enforced. Employers treat violations of the NLRA as a cost of doing business, rather than a serious violation of a federal statute. Calls for reform have historically...

In structural dynamic discrete choice models, unobserved and mis-measured state variables may lead to biased parameter estimates and misleading inference. In this paper, we show that instrumental variables can address such measurement problems when they relate to state variables that evolve...
