“DYNAMIC DISCRETE CHOICE STRUCTURAL MODELS: A SURVEY”

BY VICTOR AGUIRREGABIRIA AND PEDRO MIRA

 

COMPUTER CODE

 


 

This web page contains computer code which  implements methods for the estimation of discrete choice dynamic programming models (single agent models, competitive equilibrium models and dynamic games). These methods are reviewed (with more or less detail) in the survey paper “Dynamic Discrete Choice Structural Models: A Survey,” by Victor Aguirregabiria and Pedro Mira.

 

The computer programs included below have been generously provided by the authors of the methodological papers that first proposed each method. The authors have contributed ZIP files with programs and documentation (readme files), and in some case with datasets. We have just posted these ZIP files on this webpage.
