The econometrics of search
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many urban activity and location decisions can be viewed as the outcomes of sequential search processes. In this paper are addressed the special econometric aspects associated with the analysis of observations on such processes. Four distinct informational situations of particular relevance to search phenomena are identified, each one corresponding to different data-availability conditions. The likelihood functions appropriate for estimating the parameters of search models in each one of those informational situations are derived. Special cases in which these likelihood functions appear to be computationally tractable are also indicated in the appendix.

In this paper, the definition of meet-continuity on $L$-directedcomplete posets (for short, $L$-dcpos) is introduced. As ageneralization of meet-continuity on crisp dcpos, meet-continuity on$L$-dcpos, based on the generalized Scott topology, ischaracterized. In particular, it is shown that every continuous$L$-dcpo is meet-continuous and $L$-continuous retracts ofmeet-continuous $L$-dcpos are al...
