Response times contain information about economically relevant but unobserved variables like willingness to pay, preference intensity, quality, or happiness. We provide a general characterization of the properties of latent variables that can be detected using response time data. Our theoretical...

We propose a new approach to estimate selection-corrected quantiles of the gender wage gap. Our method employs instrumental variables that explain variation in the latent variable but, conditional on the latent process, do not directly affect selection. We provide semiparametric identification...

We study identification of differentiated product demand from marketlevel data when product characteristics can be endogenous. Past work suggests nonparametric identification may be impossible: that is, in addition to standard price instruments, exogenous characteristic-based instruments are...

The classical X-11 seasonal adjustment method for monthly and quarterly time series is equipped with routines for data-driven selections of both Henderson trendcycle filters and 3 × k seasonal moving averages, currently involving up to three candidate filters in either case. Although these...
