Although typically overlooked, many purchase datasets exhibit a high incidence of products with zero sales. We propose a new estimator for the Random-Coefficients Logit demand system for purchase datasets with zero-valued market shares. The identification of the demand parameters is based on a...

This paper develops a flexible discrete-choice demand framework for aggregate data sets that extends Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes (1995) and the Pure Characteristics Demand Model of Berry and Pakes (2007). I provide a simple, computationally tractable, asymptotically normal estimator based on two...

In this paper we introduce a new approach to estimating a differentiated product demand system that allows for error in market shares as measures of choice probabilities. In particular, our approach allows for products with zero sales in the data, which is a frequent phenomenon that arises in...
