In this work we study the large sample properties of the posterior-based inference in the curved exponential family under increasing dimension. The curved structure arises from the imposition of various restrictions, such as moment restrictions, on the model, and plays a fundamental role in...

This paper takes a revealed preference approach for set identifying the discount factor in the exponential discounting model. My methodology allows for measurement error in prices and full heterogeneity in preferences. Using longitudinal data from checkout scanners, I obtain bounds on the...

We present a nonparametric revealed preference methodology for empirically analyzing collective consumption behavior. First, we introduce an integer programming (IP) methodology for testing data consistency with collective consumption models that account for publicly as well as privately...

Spanish Abstract: Este artículo presenta la metodología y los resultados más relevantes de un estudio sobre la estimación de escalas de equivalencia en consumo. En ese estudio se destaca el uso de un método novedoso, propuesto por Lewbel y utilizado por Perali, para obtener los precios que...

As in many developing countries, mobile money was justified as a significant tool of financial inclusion in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study attempts to identify the factors motivating Rwandans to use the mobile money using the FinScope 2016 survey data collected from a random sample of 12,480...

We provide two methods to compute the largest subset of a set of observations that is consistent with the Generalised Axiom of Revealed Preference. The algorithm provided by Houtman and Maks (1985) is not comput ationally feasible for larger data sets, while our methods are not limited in that...

Varian (1988) introduced an important proposition regarding restrictions on consumption data if observations of the quantities of a good are missing. In this paper, a simple counterexample is presented to show that the original proof is incorrect, and a new proof is provided. The new proof is...

We develop a method for distributional regression of joint multidimensional choice on nonlinear prices departing from a household model of labor supply that focuses on tax policy effects. Our distribution functions are derived under minimal theoretical assumptions and have a simple structure. We...
