We consider nonparametric identification in models of differentiated products markets, using only market level … models widely used in applied work. We allow for product/market-specific unobservables, endogenous product characteristics (e … marginal costs nonparametrically, allow for unobserved firm heterogeneity, and nest a variety of equilibrium oligopoly models …
