This chapter reviews the microeconometrics literature on partial identification, focusing on the developments of the last thirty years. The topics presented illustrate that the available data combined with credible maintained assumptions may yield much information about a parameter of interest,...

Econometrics has traditionally revolved around point identi cation. Much effort has been devoted to finding the weakest set of assumptions that, together with the available data, deliver point identifi cation of population parameters, finite or infi nite dimensional that these might be. And...

This paper proposes a bootstrap-based procedure to build confidence intervals for single components of a partially identified parameter vector, and for smooth functions of such components, in moment (in)equality models. The extreme points of our confidence interval are obtained by...

This paper provides inference methods for best linear approximations to functions which are known to lie within a band. It extends the partial identifi cation literature by allowing the upper and lower functions de ning the band to carry an index, and to be unknown but parametrically or...

We propose a bootstrap-based calibrated projection procedure to build confidence intervals for single components and for smooth functions of a partially identified parameter vector in moment (in)equality models. The method controls asymptotic coverage uniformly over a large class of data...

We propose a bootstrap-based calibrated projection procedure to build con fidence intervals for single components and for smooth functions of a partially identi fied parameter vector in moment (in)equality models. The method controls asymptotic coverage uniformly over a large class of data...

This paper proposes an information-based inference method for partially identified parameters in incomplete models that is valid both when the model is correctly specified and when it is misspecified. Key features of the method are: (i) it is based on minimizing a suitably defined...
