In this paper, I develop a population-based Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm known as parallel tempering to estimate dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models. Parallel tempering approximates the posterior distribution of interest using a family of Markov chains with tempered...

We study the falsifiability and identification of Quantal Response Equilibrium (QRE) when each player's utility and error distribution are relaxed to be unknown non-parametric functions. Using variations of players' choices across a series of games, we first show that both the utility function...

This article gives the asymptotic properties for nonparametric kernel based density and regression estimators when one of the variables, respectively regressors, had to be pre-estimated. Those variables are known as constructed variables or generatedregressors, and their impact on the -nal...

When using a model for prediction, or for representing the data, the percentage error may be more important than the absolute error. We therefore present the method of least squares regression based on percentage errors. Exact expressions are derived for the coefficients, and we show how models...
