We describe methods to estimate demand parameters in the presence of choice set misspecification due to unobserved individual choice sets. We show that a consumer’s probability of making a choice from her true choice set can be written as the probability she makes the same choice from a universal...

Inhomogeneous random graph models encompass many network models such as stochastic block models and latent position models. In this paper, we study two estimators – the ordinary block constant least squares estimator, and its restricted version. We show that they satisfy oracle inequalities with...

The wage is a function of both stochastic, persistent, and exogenous ``ability'' and endogenous human capital. Human capital is acquired throughout life...

In government procurement auctions, eligibility requirements are often imposed and, perhaps not surprisingly, contracts generally have a small number of participating bidders. To understand the effects of the restrictions of competition on the total cost of government procurement, we develop,...
