Economists often study consumers' aggregate behavior across markets choosing...

This paper studies the estimation of a simple binary choice model in which explanatory variables include nonstationary variables and the distribution of the model is not known. We find a set of conditions under which the coefficients of the nonstationary variables are identified. We show that...
