Semiparametric Identification of the Discount Factor and Payoff Function in Dynamic Discrete Choice Models
Yu Hao, Hiroyuki Kasahara, Katsumi Shimotsu
This paper investigates how the discount factor and payoff functions can be identified in stationary infinite-horizon dynamic discrete choice models. In single-agent models, we sho…

Conditional Choice Probability Estimation of Dynamic Discrete Choice Models with 2-period Finite Dependence
Yu Hao, Hiroyuki Kasahara
This paper extends the work of Arcidiacono and Miller (2011, 2019) by introducing a novel characterization of finite dependence within dynamic discrete choice models, demonstrating…
