Partial Identification in Matching Models for the Marriage Market

چکیده
We study partial identification of the preference parameters in one-to-one matching model with perfectly transferable utilities. do so without imposing parametric distributional assumptions on unobserved heterogeneity and data one large market. provide a tractable characterization identified set under various classes nonparametric heterogeneity. reexamine some relevant questions empirical literature marriage market, which have been previously studied logit assumption. Our results reveal that many findings aforementioned are primarily driven by such restrictions.

انتخاب نامساعد یکی از مشکلات اساسی در صنعت بیمه است. که ابتدا در سال 1960، توسط روتشیلد واستیگلیتز مورد بحث ومطالعه قرار گرفت ازآن موقع تاکنون بسیاری از پژوهشگران مدل های مختلفی را برای تجزیه و تحلیل تقاضا برای صنعت بیمه عمر که تماما ناشی از عدم قطعیت در این صنعت میباشد انجام داده اند .وهدف از آن پیدا کردن شرایطی است که تحت آن شرایط انتخاب یا کنار گذاشتن یک بیمه گزار به نفع و یا زیان شرکت بیمه ...
15 صفحه اولPartial Identification in Two-sided Matching Models
In this paper we propose a methodology for estimating preference parameters in matching models. Our estimator applies to repeated observations of matchings among a fixed group of individuals, which is a similar data structure as in Fox (2010). Our estimator is based on stability conditions in the matching models; we consider both transferable (TU) and non-transferable utility (NTU) models. In b...
متن کاملBidimensional Matching with Heterogeneous Preferences: Smoking in the Marriage Market
We develop a bidimensional frictionless matching model under transferable utility, where individuals are characterized by a continuous trait (e.g., socioeconomic status) and a binary attribute (e.g., smoking status). The model is truly multidimensional as it incorporates attributes for which there are heterogeneous preferences in the population regarding their desirability, that is, the impac...

We construct a marriage market model of matching along multiple dimensions, some of which unobservable, where individual preferences can be summarized by a one-dimensional index combining the various characteristics. We show that, under testable assumptions, these indices are ordinally identi ed, and that the male and female trade-o¤s between their partnerscharacteristics are overidenti ed. Us...
متن کاملPartial identification in the statistical matching problem
The statistical matching problem involves the integration of multiple datasets where some variables are not observed jointly. This missing data pattern leaves most statistical models unidentifiable. Statistical inference is still possible when operating under the framework of partially identified models, where the goal is to bound the parameters rather than to estimate them precisely. In many m...
