Estimating High-Dimensional Demand Systems in the Presence of Many Binding Non-Negativity Constraints
نویسنده
چکیده
Two econometric issues arise in the structural estimation of consumer or producer demand systems in the presence of many binding non-negativity constraints. First, most existing methods entail the evaluation of multivariate probability integrals. Second, the issue of statistical coherency must be addressed. We circumvent both of these issues using Gibbs Sampling, along with data augmentation and rejection sampling. We illustrate our method using several simulated data sets. JEL: C11, C31, D12, L66

Maximum Simulated Likelihood Estimation of Consumer Demand Systems with Binding Non-Negativity Constraints
This paper proposes a maximum simulated likelihood estimator (MSLE) for demand systems with many binding non-negative constraints. Our study shows that the econo-metric implementation of the MSLE avoids high-dimensional integration. We have demonstrated the feasibility of the maximum simulated likelihood (MSL) approach for the linear expenditure system (LES) with non-negativity constraints. The...
متن کاملSimulated Maximum Likelihood Estimation of The Linear Expenditure System with Binding Non-negativity Constraints
This paper discusses issues on the estimation of consumer demand equations subject to binding non-negative constraints. We propose computationally feasible specifications and a simulated maximum likelihood (SML) method for demand systems. Our study shows that the econometric implementation of the SML estimates can avoid high-dimensional integration problems. As contrary to the simulation method...
متن کاملEstimation of Coherent Demand Systems with Many Binding Non-Negativity Constraints
Two econometric issues arise in the estimation of complete systems of producer or consumer demands when many non-negativity constraints are binding for a large share of observations, as frequently occurs with micro-level data. The rst is computational. The econometric model is essentially an endogenous switching regimes model which requires the evaluation of multivariate probability integrals. ...
متن کاملUnit commitment by a fast and new analytical non-iterative method using IPPD table and “λ-logic” algorithm
Many different methods have been presented to solve unit commitment (UC) problem in literature with different advantages and disadvantages. The need for multiple runs, huge computational burden and time, and poor convergence are some of the disadvantages, where are especially considerable in large scale systems. In this paper, a new analytical and non-iterative method is presented to solve UC p...
متن کاملEstimating and Forecasting Petroleum Demand in OECD Countries (Gasoline, Jet Fuel and Diesel)
Today, factors such as increasing energy efficiency, use of alternative fuels, and application of new fuel standards and new environmental laws in OECD countries have led to wide-range of changes in the structure of demand for fossil fuels. Given the importance of light derivatives, namely gasoline, jet fuel and diesel in the demand basked of OECD countries we focus on these products. We use ...
