Identification and Estimation of Continuous Time Dynamic Discrete Choice Games
We consider the theoretical and econometric properties of a recently proposed class of continuous time dynamic games with discrete choices. This class of models has computationally-desirable properties and includes widely-used entry, exit, and investment games that underlie many applications in empirical industrial organization. First, we provide more general conditions for existence of equilib...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Dynamic Discrete Choice Models
We propose a new estimator for dynamic programming discrete choice models. Our estimation method combines the Dynamic Programming algorithm with a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm into one single Markov Chain algorithm that solves the dynamic programming problem and estimates the parameters at the same time. Our key innovation is that during each solution-estimation iteration both th...
متن کاملSimulated Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Dynamic Discrete Choice Statistical Models
This article reports Monte Carlo results on the simulated maximum likelihood estimation of discrete panel statistical models. Among them are Markov, Generalized Poly, Renewal, and Habit Persistence Models with or without unobserved heterogeneity and serially correlated disturbances. We investigate statistical properties and computational performance of simulated maximum likelihood methods and a...
متن کاملHeterogeneity in dynamic discrete choice models
We consider dynamic discrete choice models with heterogeneity in both the levels parameter and the state dependence parameter. We rst analyse the purchase of full fat milk using a long consumer panel (T > 100) on many households. The large T nature of the panel allows us to consistently estimate the parameters of each household separately. This analysis indicates strongly that the levels and T...
متن کاملIdentication of Structural Dynamic Discrete Choice Models
This paper presents new identi cation results for the class of structural dynamic discrete choice models that are built upon the framework of the structural discrete Markov decision processes proposed by Rust (1994). We demonstrate how to semiparametrically identify the deep structural parameters of interest in the case where utility function of one choice in the model is parametric but the dis...
