Partial Identification in Nonseparable Binary Response Models with Endogenous Regressors
This paper considers (partial) identification of a variety of counterfactual parameters in binary response models with possibly endogenous regressors. Our framework allows for nonseparable index functions with multi-dimensional latent variables, and does not require parametric distributional assumptions. We leverage results on hyperplane arrangements and cell enumeration from the literature on computational geometry in order to provide a tractable means of computing the identified set. We demonstrate how various functional form, independence, and monotonicity assumptions can be imposed as constraints in our optimization procedure to tighten the identified set. Finally, we apply our method to study the effects of health insurance on the decision to seek medical treatment.

Identification of Nonseparable Models with Endogenous Control Variables
We study identification of the treatment effects in a class of nonseparable models with the presence of potentially endogenous control variables. We show that given the treatment variable and the controls are measurably …
Inference on Individual Treatment Effects in Nonseparable Triangular Models
In nonseparable triangular models with a binary endogenous treatment and a binary instrumental variable, Vuong and Xu (2017) established identification results for individual treatment effects (ITEs) under the rank invar…
validPoint-identification in multivariate nonseparable triangular models
In this article we introduce a general nonparametric point-identification result for nonseparable triangular models with a multivariate first- and second stage. Based on this we prove point-identification of Hedonic mode…
Identification and Estimation of Nonseparable Triangular Equations with Mismeasured Instruments
In this paper, I study the nonparametric identification and estimation of the marginal effect of an endogenous variable $X$ on the outcome variable $Y$, given a potentially mismeasured instrument variable $W^*$, without …
A Control Function Approach to Estimate Panel Data Binary Response Model
We propose a new control function (CF) method to estimate a binary response model in a triangular system with multiple unobserved heterogeneities The CFs are the expected values of the heterogeneity terms in the reduced …
