We analyze identification of nonseparable models under three kinds of exogeneity assumptions weaker than full statistical independence. The first is based on quantile independence. Selection on unobservables drives deviations from full independence. We show that such deviations based on quantile...

In this paper we consider endogenous regressors in the binary choice model under a weak median exclusion restriction, but without further specification of the distribution of the unobserved random components. Our reduced form specification with heteroscedastic residuals covers various...

The interaction of economic agents is one of the most important elements in economic analyses. While most empirical studies investigate peer effects on objective final achievements, peer effects on subjective outcomes are inherently difficult to identify and estimate because these variables are...

We show that derivatives of choice … identification results to models with endogenous heterogeneity using either a control function or panel data. In time stationary … panel models with two periods, we find that differences over time of derivatives of choice probabilities identify utility …

We consider a variable selection problem for the prediction of binary outcomes. We study the best subset selection procedure by which the explanatory variables are chosen by maximizing Manski (1975, 1985)'s maximum score type objective function subject to a constraint on the maximal number of...

We propose inference procedures for partially identified population features for which the population identification region can be written as a transformation of the Aumann expectation of a properly defined set valued random variable (SVRV). An SVRV is a mapping that associates a set (rather...

In this paper, we investigate what can be learned about average counterfactual outcomes when it is assumed that treatment response functions are smooth. The smoothness conditions in this paper amount to assuming that the differences in average counterfactual outcomes are bounded under different...
