Our goal in this chapter is to explain concretely how to implement simulation methods in a very general class of models … that are extremely useful in applied work: dynamic discrete choice models where one has available a panel of multinomial … class of models that includes static discrete choice models, the Heckman (1976) selection model, and all of the Heckman …

We study the performance of alternative sampling methods for estimating multivariate normal probabilities through the GHK simulator. The sampling methods are randomized versions of some quasi-Monte Carlo samples (Halton, Niederreiter, Niederreiter-Xing sequences and lattice points) and some...

We develop a model of household demand for frequently purchased consumer goods that are branded, storable and subject to stochastic price fluctuations. Our framework accounts for how inventories and expectations of future prices affect current period purchase decisions. We estimate our model...

This article gives results specifically related to the last principal component. This linear combination of variables plays an important role when one tries to fit a hyperplane to a cloud of points. In data analysis, variables are often subject to a linear transformation. The results that we...

This paper considers estimation and inference in panel vector autoregressions with fixed effects when the time dimension of the panel is finite, and the cross-sectional dimension is large. A Maximum Likelihood estimator based on a transformed likelihood function is proposed and shown to be...

A simulation method based on importance sampling, Gibbs and Metropolis-Hastings techniques allows to approximate the … maximum likelihood estimator in the general framework of dynamic latent variable models. Some examples of this class of models … are factor models, switching regime models, dynamic limited dependent varaible models, stochastic volatility models and …

Many common statistical models can be specified as linear models with restrictions imposed on the parameters. A large … amount of these models impose restrictions which do not allow for the analytical construction of the probability density …

We take a closer look at the question of whether dual traders in futures markets are indeed informed traders. Underpinning this question is the intuition that a dual trader's decision to trade on his own account is not random, but is endogenously determined by his expectations of trading profits...
