-firm level. In order to assess the accuracy of database-driven identification methods, I compare firms' true TLCF status, as … available to firms. Empirical studies that rely on database-driven identification methods might thus not be able to derive …

The notion of the group of orthogonal matrices acting on the set of all feasible identification schemes is used to … characterize the identification problem arising in structural vector autoregressions. This approach presents several conceptual … uninformative prior. Second, it allows to derive the joint distribution of blocks of parameters defining an identification scheme …

We show that the main nonparametric identification finding of Abbring and Van den Berg (2003b, Econometrica) for the … identification is based on the competing-risks identification result of Abbring and Van den Berg (2003a, Journal of the Royal …

In social interaction models, the identification of the network effect is based on either group size variation … identification strategies imply the use of many instruments or instruments that are highly correlated. The use of highly correlated … instruments may lead to the weak identification of the parameters while, in finite samples, the inclusion of an excessive number …
