Busch, Benedikt - 2021

Our decisions often depend on our subjective perceptions of the surrounding reality and we base our perceptions on the information we have available to us. Consider for instance our assessments of a variety of societal challenges we face, from immigration to inequality. Our perceptions of the...

Robust Bayesian inference in proxy SVARs

Giacomini, Raffaella; Kitagawa, Toru; Read, Matthew - 2020

We develop methods for robust Bayesian inference in structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) where the parameters of interest are set-identified using external instruments, or 'proxy SVARs'. Set-identification in these models typically occurs when there are multiple instruments for multiple...

Moment conditions for dynamic panel logit models with fixed effects

Honoré, Bo E.; Weidner, Martin - 2020

This paper builds on Bonhomme (2012) to develop a method to systematically construct moment conditions for dynamic panel data logit models with fixed effects. After introducing the moment conditions obtained in this way, we explore their implications for identification and estimation of the...

Revisiting the solution of dynamic discrete choice models: Time to bring back Keane and Wolpin (1994)?

Britton, Jack; Waltmann, Ben - 2021

The 'curse of dimensionality' is a common problem in the estimation of dynamic models: as models get more complex, the computational cost of solving these models rises exponentially. Keane and Wolpin (1994) proposed a method for addressing this problem in finite-horizon dynamic discrete choice...

Optimal debt dynamics, issuance costs, and commitment

Benzoni, Luca; Garlappi, Lorenzo; Goldstein, Robert S.; … - 2020

We investigate optimal capital structure and debt maturity policies in the presence of fixed issuance costs. We identify the global-optimal policy that generates the highest values of equity across all states of nature consistent with limited liability. The optimal policy without commitment...
