We investigate the estimation of models of dynamic discrete‐choice games of incomplete
information, formulating the maximum‐likelihood estimation exercise as a constrained …

This paper presents semiparametric identification results for the Rust (1994) class of discrete
choice dynamic programming (DCDP) models. We develop sufficient conditions for …

We derive conditions for the identification of the structural parameters in Markov decision
model under the assumptions of Rust (1987, Econometrica 55, 999–1033) when the payoff …

Proxies for unobserved skills and technologies are increasingly available in empirical data.
For dynamic discrete choice models of forward-looking agents where a continuous state …

Most theoretical identification results for dynamic games with discrete choice focus on the
entire payoff functions while taking other primitives as known. In practice, however, empirical …

Chapter 1 provides descriptive evidence of the large variation in spatial clustering across
retail industries, and develops a game-theoretic structural model which can explain this …

Firms make forward-looking decisions based on technologies. The true technological states
are not observed by econometricians, but its proxies are often available. For dynamic …

We show commonly assumed restrictions imposed on components of the profit functions,
based on past and present entry/exit decisions, allow for a particular arrangement of the …
