• Nonparametric Identification of Incomplete Information Discrete Games with Non-equilibrium Behaviors

  Staff Working Paper 2022-22 Erhao Xie

  This paper jointly relaxes two assumptions in the literature that estimates games. These two assumptions are the parametric restriction on the model primitives and the restriction of equilibrium behaviors. Without imposing the above two assumptions, this paper identifies the primitives of the game.
