A framework for applied dynamic analysis in IO

U Doraszelski, A Pakes - Handbook of industrial organization, 2007 - Elsevier
This paper reviews a framework for numerically analyzing dynamic interactions in
imperfectly competitive industries. The framework dates back to Ericson and Pakes [1995 …

Recursive contracts

A Marcet, R Marimon - Econometrica, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
We obtain a recursive formulation for a general class of optimization problems with forward‐
looking constraints which often arise in economic dynamic models, for example, in …

Poverty and self‐control

BD Bernheim, D Ray, Ş Yeltekin - Econometrica, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We argue that poverty can perpetuate itself by undermining the capacity for self‐control. In
line with a distinguished psychological literature, we consider modes of self‐control that …

Optimal collusion with private information

S Athey, K Bagwell - RAND Journal of Economics, 2001 - JSTOR
We analyze collusion in an infinitely repeated Bertrand game, where prices are publicly
observed and each firm receives a privately observed, iid cost shock in each period …

Identification and estimation of a discrete game of complete information

P Bajari, H Hong, SP Ryan - Econometrica, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
We discuss the identification and estimation of discrete games of complete information.
Following Bresnahan and Reiss (1990, 1991), a discrete game is a generalization of a …

Avoiding the curse of dimensionality in dynamic stochastic games

U Doraszelski, KL Judd - Quantitative Economics, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Discrete‐time stochastic games with a finite number of states have been widely applied to
study the strategic interactions among forward‐looking players in dynamic environments …

Credible monetary policy in an infinite horizon model: Recursive approaches

R Chang - journal of economic theory, 1998 - Elsevier
This paper develops recursive methods to study optimal and time consistent policy in
dynamic models. We analyze a version of Calvo's 1978 monetary model and show that its …

Recursive Methods in Discounted Stochastic Games: An Algorithm for δ→ 1 and a Folk Theorem

J Hörner, T Sugaya, S Takahashi, N Vieille - Econometrica, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
We present an algorithm to compute the set of perfect public equilibrium payoffs as the
discount factor tends to 1 for stochastic games with observable states and public (but not …

[PDF][PDF] Dynamic programming

J Rust - The new Palgrave dictionary of economics, 2008 - editorialexpress.com
Dynamic Programming is a recursive method for solving sequential decision problems
(hereafter abbreviated as SDP). Also known as backward induction, it is used to find optimal …

Competition, profitability, and discount rates

WW Dou, Y Ji, W Wu - Journal of Financial Economics, 2021 - Elsevier
We build an asset-pricing model with dynamic strategic competition to explain the strong
joint fluctuations in aggregate discount rates, competition intensity, profitability, and asset …
