This paper demonstrates the use of bounds analysis for empirical models of market structure that allow for multiple equilibria. From an econometric standpoint, these models feature systems of equalities and inequalities for the determination of multiple endogenous interdependent discrete choice...

Instrumental variable models for discrete outcomes are set, not point, identifying. The paper characterises identi.ed sets of structural functions when endogenous variables are discrete. Identi.ed sets are unions of large numbers of convex sets and may not be convex nor even connected. Each of...

Endogeneity and correlated alternatives are major concerns to be addressed in travel behavior analysis. However, these issues have been rarely dealt with simultaneously in advanced discrete choice models. This study proposed a multinomial probit model that incorporates the instrumental variable...

Multivalued treatments are commonplace in applications. We explore the use of discrete-valued instruments to control for selection bias in this setting. Our discussion revolves around the concept of targeting: which instruments target which treatments. It allows us to establish conditions under...

We present a fast and accurate computational method for solving and estimating a class of dynamic programming models with discrete and continuous choice variables. The solution method we develop for structural estimation extends the en- dogenous grid-point method (EGM) to discrete-continuous...

We derive marginal conditions of optimality (i.e., Euler equations) for a general class of Dynamic Discrete Choice (DDC) structural models. These conditions can be used to estimate structural parameters in these models without having to solve for or approximate value functions. This result...
