A Simple Nonparametric Estimator for the Distribution of Random Coefficients

Bajari, Patrick - 2009

We propose a simple nonparametric mixtures estimator for recovering the joint distribution of parameter heterogeneity in economic models, such as the random coefficients logit. The estimator is based on linear regression subject to linear inequality constraints, and is robust, easy to program...

Evaluating Wireless Carrier Consolidation Using Semiparametric Demand Estimation

Bajari, Patrick - 2006

The US mobile phone service industry has dramatically consolidated over the last two decades. One justification for consolidation is that merged firms can provide consumers with larger coverage areas at lower costs. We estimate the willingness to pay for national coverage to evaluate this...

A Simple Nonparametric Approach to Estimating the Distribution of Random Coefficients in Structural Models

Fox, Jeremy T. - 2011

We explore a nonparametric mixtures estimator for recovering the joint distribution of random coefficients in economic models. The estimator is based on linear regression subject to linear inequality constraints and is computationally attractive compared to alternative, nonparametric estimators....

Estimating Matching Games with Transfers

Fox, Jeremy T. - 2008

I explore the estimation of transferable utility matching games, encompassing many-to-many matching, marriage and … matching with trading networks (trades). I introduce a matching maximum score estimator that does not suffer from a … computational curse of dimensionality in the number of agents in a matching market.

Unobserved Heterogeneity in Matching Games with an Application to Venture Capital

Fox, Jeremy T. - 2012

Agents in two-sided matching games vary in characteristics that are unobservable in typical data on matching markets …. In full generality, we consider many-to-many matching and matching with trades. The distribution of match …
