In this paper we consider the nonparametric identification of Markov dynamic games models in which each firm has its own unobserved state variable, which is persistent over time. This class of models includes most models in the Ericson and Pakes (1995) and Pakes and McGuire (1994) framework. We...

We examine the effects of durability on equilibrium producer behavior in the car market In this setting forward-looking producers take into account the effect that their current production decisions have on their current and future profits due to the existence of a secondary market First we...
