This chapter reviews the microeconometrics literature on partial identification, focusing on
the developments of the last thirty years. The topics presented illustrate that the available …

We review recent developments in the econometrics of shape restrictions and their role in
applied work. Our objectives are threefold. First, we aim to emphasize the diversity of …

Given a set of baseline assumptions, a breakdown frontier is the boundary between the set
of assumptions which lead to a specific conclusion and those which do not. In a potential …

Shape constraints, motivated by either application-specific assumptions or existing theory,
can be imposed during model estimation to restrict the feasible region of the parameters …

Welfare analysis of policy interventions is ubiquitous in economic research. It plays an
important role in merger analysis and antitrust litigation, design of tax and subsidies, and …

An important goal of empirical demand analysis is choice and welfare prediction on
counterfactual budget sets arising from potential policy interventions. Such predictions are …

The issue of granular output optimization of neural networks with fixed connections within a
given input space is explored. The numeric output optimization is a highly nonlinear problem …

In clustering problems based on fuzzy c-means (FCM) for uncertain interval data, points
within the interval are usually assumed to have uniform distribution, resulting in the difficulty …

There are surveys that gather precise information on an outcome of interest, but measure
continuous covariates by a discrete number of intervals, in which case the covariates are …
