Frictions in a competitive, regulated market: Evidence from taxis

GR Frechette, A Lizzeri, T Salz - American Economic Review, 2019 - aeaweb.org
This paper presents a dynamic equilibrium model of a taxi market. The model is estimated
using data from New York City yellow cabs. Two salient features by which most taxi markets …

Spatial equilibrium, search frictions, and dynamic efficiency in the taxi industry

N Buchholz - The Review of Economic Studies, 2022 - academic.oup.com
This article analyses the dynamic spatial equilibrium of taxicabs and shows how common
taxi regulations lead to substantial inefficiencies as a result of search frictions and mis …

Identification in nonparametric models for dynamic treatment effects

S Han - Journal of Econometrics, 2021 - Elsevier
This paper develops a nonparametric model that represents how sequences of outcomes
and treatment choices influence one another in a dynamic manner. In this setting, we are …

Identification of counterfactuals in dynamic discrete choice models

M Kalouptsidi, PT Scott… - Quantitative …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Dynamic discrete choice (DDC) models are not identified nonparametrically, but the non‐
identification of models does not necessarily imply the nonidentification of counterfactuals …

Learning individual behavior using sensor data: The case of global positioning system traces and taxi drivers

Y Zhang, B Li, R Krishnan - Information Systems Research, 2020 - pubsonline.informs.org
The ubiquitous deployment of mobile and sensor technologies enables observation and
recording of human behavior in physical (off-line) settings in a manner similar to what has …

Policy Evaluation for Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback: A Sample Complexity Analysis

Estimation of social‐influence‐dependent peer pressure in a large network game

Z Lin, H Xu - The Econometrics Journal, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Research on peer effects in sociology has long been focused on social interactions and the
associated social influence process. In this paper, we extend a large‐network‐based game …

Joint analysis of the discount factor and payoff parameters in dynamic discrete choice models

T Komarova, F Sanches, D Silva Junior… - Quantitative …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Most empirical and theoretical econometric studies of dynamic discrete choice models
assume the discount factor to be known. We show the knowledge of the discount factor is not …

Partial identification and inference for dynamic models and counterfactuals

M Kalouptsidi, Y Kitamura, L Lima… - 2020 - nber.org
We provide a general framework for investigating partial identification of structural dynamic
discrete choice models and their counterfactuals, along with uniformly valid inference …
