We present a new class of methods for identification and inference in dynamic models with serially correlated unobservables, which typically imply that state variables are econometrically endogenous. In the context of Industrial Organization, these state variables often reflect econometrically...

This article reviews recent developments in the study of firm and industry dynamics, with a special emphasis on the econometric endogeneity of market structure. The endogeneity of market structure follows from the presence of serially correlated unobservable shocks to the profitability of...

Demand estimates are essential for addressing a wide range of positive and normative questions in economics that are known to depend on the shape-and notably the curvature-of the true demand functions. The existing frontier approaches, while allowing flexible substitution patterns, typically...

I develop and apply a nonparametric approach to estimate demand in differentiated products markets. Estimating demand flexibly is key to addressing many questions in economics that hinge on the shape - and notably the curvature - of market demand functions. My approach applies to standard...

This paper studies the effects of misspecified boundaries of competition on optimal retail pricing using store-level supermarket scanner data. We focus on two types of misspecification: (i) misspecification of the demand estimation problem, which can arise from either defining the product market...
