Individuals trade present for future consumption across a range of economic behaviors, and this tradeoff may differ across socioeconomic groups. To assess these tradeoffs, we estimate a dynamic model of residential solar adoption and system sizing in California using household-level data on...

We present a methodology to estimate fixed cost parameters relevant to the decision to operate, mothballor retire an open-cycle gas turbine (OCGT) using a dynamic discrete choice model, based on fuel andelectricity prices, as well as technical data and the operational status of OCGTs in the PJM...

This paper develops a method to flexibly adapt interpolation grids of value function approximations in the estimation of dynamic models using either NFXP (Rust, 1987) or MPEC (Su and Judd, 2012). Since MPEC requires the grid structure for the value function approximation to be hard-coded into...

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...
