This paper studies nonparametric identification in market level demand models for differentiated products with heterogeneous consumers. We consider a general class of models that allows for the individual specific coefficients to vary continuously across the population and give conditions under...

Sorting and spillovers can create correlation in individual outcomes. In this situation, standard discrete choice estimators cannot consistently estimate the probability of joint and conditional events, and alternative estimators can yield incoherent statistical models or intractable estimators....

This paper investigates the underlying causes of suicide. In contrast to previous literature, we use data from the United States at the county level. Our primary methodology is a two-level Bayesian hierarchical model with spatially correlated random effects. Our results show that the significant...
