Simulation and estimation of hedonic models

Heckman, James J. - 2003

Making use of restrictions imposed by equilibrium, theoretical progress has been made on the nonparametric and semiparametric estimation and identification of scalar additive hedonic models (Ekeland, Heckman, and Nesheim, 2002) and scalar nonadditive hedonic models (Heckman, Matzkin, and...

Identification and estimation of hedonic models

Ekeland, Ivar; Heckman, James J.; Nesheim, Lars - 2003

This paper considers the identification and estimation of hedonic models. We establish that in an additive version of the hedonic model, technology and preferences are generically identified up to affine transformations from data on demand and supply in a single hedonic market. For a very...

Estimation in dynamic panel data models : improving on the performance of the standard GMM estimator

Blundell, Richard W.; Bond, Stephen; Windmeijer, Frank - 2000

This chapter reviews developments to improve on the poor performance of the standard GMM estimator for highly autoregressive panel series. It considers the use of the system GMM estimator that relies on relatively mild restrictions on the initial condition process. This system GMM estimator...
