As the French government has adopted a large broadband development strategy mainly trough FTTH technologies, estimating the demand for broadband is necessary from a policy recommendation perspective. This paper uses data from a nationwide survey conducted yearly between 2007 and 2017 to analyze...

With count-valued outcomes y in {0,1,...,M} identification and estimation of average treatment effects raise no special considerations beyond those involved in the continuous-outcome case. If partial identification of the distribution of treatment effects is of interest, however, count-valued...

The estimation of dynamic games is known to be a numerically challenging task. In this paper we propose an alternative class of asymptotic least squares estimators to Pesendorfer and Schmidt-Dengler's (2008), which includes several well known estimators in the literature as special cases. Our...

Instrumental variable models for discrete outcomes are set, not point, identifying. The paper characterises identi.ed sets of structural functions when endogenous variables are discrete. Identi.ed sets are unions of large numbers of convex sets and may not be convex nor even connected. Each of...

This paper demonstrates the use of bounds analysis for empirical models of market structure that allow for multiple equilibria. From an econometric standpoint, these models feature systems of equalities and inequalities for the determination of multiple endogenous interdependent discrete choice...

This paper develops identification and estimation methods for dynamic structural models when agents' actions are unobserved by econometricians. We provide conditions under which choice probabilities and latent state transition rules are nonparametrically identified with a continuous state...

Models of simultaneous discrete choice may be incomplete, delivering multiple values of out- comes at certain values of the latent variables and covariates, and incoherent, delivering no val- ues. Alternative approaches to accommodating incompleteness and incoherence are considered in a unifying...

In dynamic discrete choice analysis, controlling for unobserved heterogeneity is an important issue, and finite mixture models provide flexible ways to account for unobserved heterogeneity. This paper studies nonparametric identifiability of type probabilities and type-specific component...

In this paper we introduce a new flexible mixed model for multinomial discrete choice where the key individual- and alternative-specific parameters of interest are allowed to follow an assumptionfree nonparametric density specification while other alternative-specific coefficients are assumed to...

We propose using cyclic monotonicity, a convex-analytic property of the random utility choice model, to derive bounds on counterfactual choice probabilities in semiparametric multinomial choice models. These bounds are useful for typical counterfactual exercises in aggregate discrete-choice...
