Binary Choice Models with Discrete Regressors: Identification and Misspecification
In semiparametric binary response models, support conditions on the regressors are required to guarantee point identification of the parameter of interest. For example, one regressor is usually assumed to have continuous support conditional on the other regressors. In some instances, such conditions have precluded the use of these models; in others, practitioners have failed to consider whether...
متن کاملTwo Dynamic Discrete Choice Estimation Problems and Simulation Method Solutions
This paper considers two problems that frequently arise in dynamic discrete choice problems but have not received much attention with regard to simulation methods. The first problem is how to simulate unbiased simulators of probabilities conditional on past history. The second is simulating a discrete transition probability model when the underlying dependent variable is really continuous. Both...
متن کاملDiscrete Choice under Uncertainty
It is not unusual in real-life that one has to choose among nitely many alternatives when the merits of each alternative are not perfectly known. A natural rule is then to choose the alternative which looksbest. We show that a version of the monotone likelihood ratio property is su¢ cient, and also essentially necessary, for this decision rule to be optimal. We also analyze how the precision...
متن کاملA Test of Choice Set Misspecification for Discrete Models of Consumer Choice
We develop and evaluate a test of choice set misspecification for a multinomial logit choice model. This test determines whether the choice set designated by the researcher mistakenly assigns relevant substitutes to the numeraire good. We develop this test by generalizing the traditional McFadden-type conditional logit model to evaluate whether the traditional model is conditioned on an overly ...
متن کاملDynamic Discrete Choice and Dynamic Treatment Effects
Dynamic Discrete Choice and Dynamic Treatment Effects This paper considers semiparametric identiÞcation of structural dynamic discrete choice models and models for dynamic treatment effects. Time to treatment and counterfactual outcomes associated with treatment times are jointly analyzed. We examine the implicit assumptions of the dynamic treatment model using the structural model as a benchma...
