This paper uses an original panel dataset with posted prices and sales to estimate a dynamic demand. We find that consumers become more price sensitive as time to departure nears which is consistent with having lower valuations. This result provides empirical support to a key theoretical...

Fershtman and Judd (1987) and Sklivas (1987) have shown that strategic delegation under price competition makes firm owners choose incentive contracts that induce managers to be soft in order to reduce competitive intensity. We show in a worked-out example that under sufficiently strong network...

I develop a semi-structural approach to identify network effects on two-sided monopoly platforms without data on prices and quantities. When total revenue data is available, the test is sufficient. When separate revenue data is available on the two sides, the test is both necessary and sufficient.

This note discusses partial identification in a nonparametric triangular system with discrete endogenous regressors and nonseparable errors. Recently, Jun et al. (2011, JPX) provide bounds on the structural function evaluated at particular values using exclusion, exogeneity and rank conditions....

This paper proposes an ℓ1 penalized quantile regression estimator which adapts the Hausman–Taylor instrumental variable approach in order to address the bias resulting from the shrinkage of the individual effects.

We propose a HAC estimator for the covariance matrix of the fixed effects estimator in a panel data model with unobserved fixed effects and errors that are both serially and spatially correlated.
