Our goal in this chapter is to explain concretely how to implement simulation methods in a very general class of models that are extremely useful in applied work: dynamic discrete choice models where one has available a panel of multinomial choice histories and partially observed payoffs....

Simulation estimation in the context of panel data, limited dependent-variable (LDV) models poses formidable problems that are not present in the crosssection case. Nevertheless, a number of practical simulation estimation methods have been proposed and implemented for panel data LDV models....

Internal market structure analysis infers both brand attributes and consumer preferences for those attributes from preference or choice data. The authors exploit a new method for estimating probit models from panel data to infer market structures that can be displayed in few dimensions, even...

individuals' employment, retirement and consumption decisions. Our modeling approach allows life expectancy and the nature of the … public pension system to influence the decisions of forward-looking individuals planning for retirement. We calculate that …, increasing the full pensionable age generates the largest responses in labor supply and retirement behavior. …

We develop a model of household demand for frequently purchased consumer goods that are branded, storable and subject to stochastic price fluctuations. Our framework accounts for how inventories and expectations of future prices affect current period purchase decisions. We estimate our model...

Much research sponsored by the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has evaluated the effects of the Food Stamp Program (FSP) and other food and nutrition programs on outcomes of interest (e.g., dietary intake or food expenditures). Of course, the problem of...

In applied statistics and computational econometrics a key task for researchers is to bring the sizable but unstructured body of numeric evidence, for example from Monte Carlo simulation, in a form ready for introducing to scientific dialog. At their disposal they find established means of...

In recent years, major advances have taken place in three areas of random utility modeling: (1) semiparametric estimation, (2) computational methods for multinomial probit models, and (3) computational methods for Bayesian stimation. This paper summarizes these developments and discusses their...

Until recently, computational constraints forced researchers in the discrete choice area to limit themselves to very simple statistical models, such as the multinomial logit (MNL), in which choice probabilities could be evaluated quickly on a computer. But the MNL only makes sense as a...

This brief note serves as a companion paper to Klein (2014). Small multiples incorporate graphical frameworks such as P value plots with ease, and thus facilitate visualizing quantitative data that record parameter change from simulation experiments. Pitfalls in layout may be avoided when...
