This paper considers the evaluation of the average treatment effect (ATE) in a triangular system with binary dependent variables. I impose a threshold crossing model on both endogenous regressor and the outcome. No parametric functional form or distributional assumptions are imposed. Shaikh and...

We derive the empirical content of Nash equilibrium in 2×2 games of perfect information, including duopoly entry and coordination games. The derived bounds are nonparametric intersection bounds and are simple enough to lend themselves to existing inference methods. Implications of pure strategy...

We derive the empirical content of an instrumental variables model of sectorial choice with binary outcomes. Assumptions on selection include the simple, extended and generalized Roy models. The derived bounds are nonparametric intersection bounds and are simple enough to lend themselves to...

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 deals with the question whether exclusion restrictions on the exogenous regressors are necessary to identify two equation probit models with endogenous dummy regressor. We show that Wilde (2000)’s criterion is insufficient for (point) identification.

In the spatial model of voting, voters choose the candidate closest to them in the ideological space. Recent work by (Degan and Merlo 2009) shows that it is falsifiable on the basis of individual voting data in multiple elections. We show how to tackle the fact that the model only partially...

We study some recent developments and challenges in the empirics of the effects of social networks. We focus in particular on researchers' ability to make policy recommendations based on a standard linear econometric model. We examine the potential compatibility between this type of econometric...
