We derive the empirical content of an instrumental variables model of sectoral choice with discrete outcomes. The partial identification results extend existing work on sharp bounds in binary choice threshold crossing models in allowing sector specific unobserved heterogeneity. Assumptions on...

Semiparametric estimates of long memory seem useful in the analysis of long financial time series because they are consistent under much broader conditions than parametric estimates. However, recent large sample theory for semiparametric estimates forbids conditional heteroscedasticity. We show...

We propose a methodology for constructing valid confidence regions in incomplete models with latent variables satisfying moment equality restrictions. These include moment equality and inequality models with latent variables. The confidence regions are obtained by inverting tests based on the...

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...
