Structural Econometric Modeling: Rationales and Examples from Industrial Organization

Peter C. Reiss and Frank A. Wolak

Chapter 64 in Handbook of Econometrics, 2007, vol. 6A from Elsevier

Abstract: This chapter explains the logic of structural econometric models and compares them to other types of econometric models. We provide a framework researchers can use to develop and evaluate structural econometric models. This framework pays particular attention to describing different sources of unobservables in structural models. We use our framework to evaluate several literatures in industrial organization economics, including the literatures dealing with market power, product differentiation, auctions, regulation and entry.
