We show how to construct bounds on counterfactual choice probabilities in semiparametric discrete-choice models. Our procedure is based on cyclic monotonicity, a convex-analytic property of the random utility discrete-choice model. These bounds are useful for typical counterfactual exercises in...

We examine properties of the LM test of overdispersion when the alternative is characterized by arbitrary correlated random effects. We first derive a result that a natural test to detect such arbitrary correlated random effects would take the form of the test of conditional moment restriction,...

This paper studies nonstationarities in panels of exchange rates and interest rates. For this, we survey developments in the analysis of nonstationary panels with cross-sectional dependence modeled as a factor model. We focus on panel unit root tests and on inference on the nonstationary...

We propose a method of estimating the linear-in-means model of peer effects in which the peer group, defined by a social network, is endogenous in the outcome equation for peer effects. Endogeneity is due to unobservable individual characteristics that influence both link formation in the...
