This paper develops a new Bayesian algorithm to efficiently estimate non-linear/non-Gaussian state space models with abruptly changing parameters. Within the Particle Gibbs framework developed by Andrieu et al. (2010), the proposed algorithm effectively combines two ideas: ancestor sampling and...

We propose a general two-step estimation method for the structural parameters of popular semiparametric Markovian discrete choice models that include a class of Markovian Games and allow for continuous observable state space. The estimation procedure is simple as it directly generalizes the...
