In this paper we propose to estimate the value distribution of independently and identically repeated first-price auctions directly via a semi-nonparametric integrated simulated moments sieve approach. Given a candidate value distribution function in a sieve space, we simulate bids according to...

In this article, the effect of public expenditure on consumers' welfare is considered by estimating the substitutability of public expenditure for private consumption in the context of Aschauer (1985). Aschauer's full information maximum likelihood estimation requires much more assumptions than...

The analysis of auctions is an active area of research for both theoretical and empirical economists. Concentrating on a particular auction format, namely the First--Price Sealed--Bid auction, this dissertation contributes to the analysis of auction both from a methodological viewpoint and from...

CHAPTER 1: Discrete Choice Models With Local Interactions: A Game Theoretical ApproachConsider observations from a single equilibrium of a local interaction game in which each player, a firm, has a finite number of actions (discrete choice) and is subject to interactions that are localfor...
