We show identifiability of the Box-Cox model under restrictions that do not require the disturbance U to be independent or mean independent of the explanatory variable X. Our restrictions are on the support of the distribution of U given X.

This paper proposes a method for testing complementarities between explanatory and dependent variables in a large class of economic models. The proposed test is based on the monotone comparative statics (MCS) property of equilibria. Our main result is that MCS produces testable implications on...

This paper derives necessary and sufficient conditions for nonparametric transformation models to be (i) correctly specified, and (ii) identified. Our correct specification conditions come in a form of partial differential equations; when satisfied by the true distribution, they ensure that the...

In situations where a sequence of forecasts is observed, a common strategy is to examine "rationality" conditional on a given loss function. We examine this from a different perspective—supposing that we have a family of loss functions indexed by unknown shape parameters, then given the...
