Point allocation experiments are widely used in the social sciences. In these experiments, survey respondents distribute a fixed total number of points across a fixed number of alternatives. This paper reviews the different perspectives in the literature about what respondents do when they...

The risk-neutral density is a fundamental concept in pricing financial derivatives, risk management, and assessing financial markets' perceptions over significant political or economic events. In this paper, we propose a new nonparametric method for estimating the risk-neutral density using...

We investigate the estimation of models of dynamic discrete-choice games of incomplete information, formulating the maximum-likelihood estimation exercise as a constrained optimization problem that can be solved using state-of-the-art constrained optimization solvers. Under the assumption that...
