This paper considers identification and inference of a general latent nonlinear model using two samples, where a covariate contains arbitrary measurement errors in both samples, and neither sample contains an accurate measurement of the corresponding true variable. The primary sample consists of...

It is difficult to reach a consensus on how to measure a social construct such as the harmony level of a group of people. To circumvent the difficulty, we develop ``latent'' binary quantile regression for settings in which the binary regressand is unobserved and proxied by multiple indicators...

This paper presents a novel framework to estimate the elasticity between nighttime lights and quarterly economic activity. The relationship is identified by accounting for varying degrees of measurement errors in nighttime light data across countries. The estimated elasticity is 1.55 for...
