In a landmark contribution to the structural vector autoregression (SVARs) literature, RubioRam'ırez, Waggoner, and Zha (2010, 'Structural Vector Autoregressions: Theory of Identification and Algorithms for Inference,' Review of Economic Studies) shows a necessary and sufficient condition for...

We provide a general framework for incorporating many types of micro data from summary statistics to full surveys of selected consumers into Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes (1995)-style estimates of differentiated products demand systems. We extend best practices for BLP estimation in Conlon and...

We propose two simple bias reduction procedures that apply to estimators in a general static simultaneous equation model and which are valid under reatively weak distributional assumptions for the errors. Standard jackknife estimators, as applied to 2SLS, may not reduce the bias of the exogenous...

Identification through heteroskedasticity in heteroskedastic simultaneous equations models (HSEMs) is considered. The possibility that heteroskedasticity identifies the structural parameters only partially is explicitly allowed for. The asymptotic properties of the identified parameters are...

This paper provides a control function estimator to adjust for endogeneity in the triangular simultaneous equations model where there are no available exclusion restrictions to generate suitable instruments. Our approach is to exploit the dependence of the errors on exogenous variables (e.g....

This paper presents a class of robust estimators for linear and non-linear simultaneous equations models, which are a direct generalization of the maximum likelihood estimator. The new estimators are obtained as solutions of a generalized likelihood equation. They are resistant to deviations...

This paper presents a simple two-step nonparametric estimator for a triangular simultaneous equation model. Our approach employs series approximations that exploit the additive structure of the model. The first step comprises the nonparametric estimation of the reduced form and the corresponding...
