From its inception, demand estimation has faced the problem of "many prices." While some aggregation across goods is always necessary, the problem of many prices remains even after aggregation. Although objects of interest may mostly depend on a few prices, many prices should be included to...

This paper shows how to increase the power of Hausman's (1978) specification test as well as the difference test in a large class of models. The idea is to impose the restrictions of the null and the alternative hypotheses when estimating the covariance matrix. If the null hypothesis is true...

We propose a new estimator for the dynamic panel model, which solves the failure of strict exogeneity by calculating the bias in the first-order conditions as a function of the autoregressive parameter and solving the resulting equation. The estimator does well in a wide variety of situations...
