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...

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...

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...

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 explore the asymptotic properties of pairwise stables networks (Jackson and Wolinsky, 1996). Specifically, we want to recover a set of parameters from the individuals' utility functions using the observation of a single pairwise stable network. We develop Pseudo Maximum Likelihood estimator...

We propose a new specification test for assessing the validity of fuzzy regression discontinuity designs (FRD-validity). We derive a new set of testable implications, characterized by a set of inequality restrictions on the joint distribution of observed outcomes and treatment status at the...

In many set identified models, it is difficult to obtain a tractable characterization of the identified set, therefore, empirical works often construct confidence region based on an outer set of the identified set. Because an outer set is always a superset of the identified set, this practice is...
