The main purpose of this survey paper is to consider the attempts that have been made to apply economic theory and …

We show nonparametric point identification of static binary games with incomplete information, using excluded regressors. An excluded regressor for player ¡ is a state variable that does not affect other players' utility and is additively separable from other components in ¡'s payoff. When...

We study a consumer non-sequential search oligopoly model with search cost heterogeneity. We first prove that an equilibrium in mixed strategies always exists. We then examine the nonparametric identification and estimation of the costs of search. We find that the sequence of points on the...

We provide an example for an errors in variables problem which might be often neglected but which is quite common in lab experimental practice: In one task, attitude towards risk is measured, in another task participants behave in a way that can possibly be explained by their risk attitude. How...

In a recent paper Hong and Shum [2006. Using price distributions to estimate search costs. Rand Journal of Economics 37, 257–275] present a structural method to estimate search cost distributions. We extend their approach to the case of oligopoly and present a new maximum likelihood method to...

The authors propose a new approach to simulate the likelihood of the sequential search model. By allowing search costs to be heterogeneous across consumers and products, the authors directly compute the joint probability of the search and purchase decision when consumers are searching for the...
