Econometric estimation of PCAIDS models
This paper presents a version of the proportionally calibrated almost ideal demand system (PCAIDS) model, useful for merger simulations, which can be econometrically estimated using price data for two firms in a market. The model is then applied to a database of the Argentine gasoline market, and its results are compared to the ones obtained with other alternative specifications. JEL Classifica...
متن کاملImproved Estimation for Robust Econometric Regression Models
The t distribution has proved to be a useful alternative to the normal distribution in many econometric regression models, especially when robust estimation is desired. In this work, we consider a nonlinear heteroskedastic Student t regression model. We suppose the observations to be independently t distributed, with the location and scale parameters for each observation being related to linear...
متن کاملExact Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Observation-Driven Econometric Models
The possibility of exact maximum likelihood estimation of many observation-driven models remains an open question. Often only approximate maximum likelihood estimation is attempted, because the unconditional density needed for exact estimation is not known in closed form. Using simulation and nonparametric density estimation techniques that facilitate empirical likelihood evaluation, we develop...
متن کاملParameter estimation of nonlinear econometric models using particle swarm optimization
Global optimization is an essential component of econometric modeling. Optimization in econometrics is often difficult due to irregular cost functions characterized by multiple local optima. The goal of this paper is to apply a relatively new stochastic global technique, particle swarm optimization, to the well-known but difficult disequilibrium problem. Because of its co-operative nature and b...
متن کاملWorst-case estimation for econometric models with unobservable components
A worst-case estimator for econometric models containing unobservable components, based on minimax principles for optimal selection of parameters, is proposed.Worst-case estimators are robust against the averse effects of unobservables. Computing worstcase estimators involves solving aminimax continuous problem,which is quite a challenging task. Large sample theory is considered, and a Monte Ca...
