Semi-Parametric Estimation of Dynamic Discrete Choice Models
By: David Hao Zhang
I develop a new method for estimating counterfactuals in dynamic discrete choice models, a widely used set of models in economics, without requiring a distributional assumption on utility shocks. Applying my method to the canonical Rust (1987) setting, I find that the... View Details

Zooming In: A Practical Manual for Identifying Geographic Clusters
By: Juan Alcacer and Minyuan Zhao
This paper takes a close look at the reasons, procedures, and results of cluster identification methods. Despite being a popular research topic in strategy, economics, and sociology, geographic clusters are often studied with little consideration given to the... View Details

Weighted Generating Functions for Type II Lattices and Codes
By: Noam D. Elkies and Scott Duke Kominers
We give a new structural development of harmonic polynomials on Hamming space, and harmonic weight enumerators of binary linear codes, that parallels one approach to harmonic polynomials on Euclidean space and weighted theta functions of Euclidean lattices. Namely, we... View Details

Asymptotic Improvements of Lower Bounds for the Least Common Multiples of Arithmetic Progressions
By: Daniel M. Kane and Scott Duke Kominers
For relatively prime positive integers and r, we consider the least common multiple L_n:=\mathop{\textrm{lcm}}(u_0,u_1,\dots, u_n) of the finite arithmetic progression \{u_k:=u_0+kr\}_{k=0}^n. We derive new lower bounds on L_n that improve upon those obtained... View Details
