Abstract

This paper studies a two-stage procedure for estimating partially identified models, based on Chernozhukov, Hong, and Tamer’s (2007) theory of set estimation and inference. We consider the case where a sub-vector of parameters or their identified set can be estimated separately from the rest, possibly subject to a priori restrictions. Our procedure constructs the second-stage set estimator and confidence set by taking appropriate level sets of a criterion function, using a first-stage estimator to impose restrictions on the parameter of interest. We give conditions under which the two-stage set estimator is a set-valued random element that is measurable in an appropriate sense. We also establish the consistency of the two-stage set estimator.
