This paper introduces a new hypothesis test for the null hypothesis H0 : f(θ) = ϒ0, where f(.) is a known function, ϒ0 is a known constant, and θ is a parameter that is partially identied by a moment (in)equality model. The main application of our test is sub-vector inference in...

This paper introduces a bootstrap-based inference method for functions of the parameter vector in a moment (in)equality model. As a special case, our method yields marginal confidence sets for individual coordinates of this parameter vector. Our inference method controls asymptotic size...

In this paper we introduce a new approach to estimating a differentiated product demand system that allows for error in market shares as measures of choice probabilities. In particular, our approach allows for products with zero sales in the data, which is a frequent phenomenon that arises in...

This paper studies the problem of specification testing in partially indentified models defined by a finite number of moment equalities and inequalities (i.e., (in)equalities). Under the null hypothesis, there is at least one parameter value that simultaneously satisfies all of the moment...

<p>We consider the identification of a Markov process {W_t, X_t*} for t=1,2,...,T when only {W_t} for t=1, 2,..,T is observed. In structural dynamic models, W_t denotes the sequence of choice variables and observed state variables of an optimizing agent, while X_t* denotes the sequence of serially...</p>

We propose a novel methodology for nonparametric identification of first-price auction models with independent private values, which accommodates auction-specific unobserved heterogeneity and bidder asymmetries, based on recent results from the econometric literature on nonclassical measurement...

We extend the Berry, Levinsohn and Pakes (BLP, 1995) random coefficients discrete-choice demand model, which underlies much recent empirical work in IO. We add interactive fixed effects in the form of a factor structure on the unobserved product characteristics. The interactive fixed effects can...
