Abstract 摘要
在消费者选择模型中,内生性因多种原因产生。它导致标准估计方法的不一致性,这些方法保持模型误差与包含变量之间的独立性。作者描述了一种控制函数方法来处理选择模型中的内生性。通过观察变量和经济理论来推导控制变量,以处理内生变量与需求误差之间的依赖性。理论指出了包含未观察到的需求因素信息的关系,例如定价方程和广告方程。作者的方法是对 Berry、Levinsohn 和 Pakes(1995)未观察到质量的产品市场控制的替代方法。作者应用这两种方法来研究家庭在电视选项(包括基本和高级有线电视套餐)中的选择,其中未观察到的属性(如节目质量)预计与价格相关。如果不纠正内生性,估计的总需求将呈上升趋势,表明遗漏的属性与需求正相关。 无论是控制函数法还是产品市场控制法,都会产生相似的向下倾斜的需求估计。
在一些离散选择需求设置中,研究人员已经表明,未包含在分析中的因素与包含的因素相关,从而违反了一致性的标准独立性假设(参见,例如,Bass 1969;Berry 1994)。在这些情况下,观察到的因素对需求的估计影响不仅反映了该因素的作用,还反映了与其相关的未观察到的因素的作用。例如,质量较高的产品通常价格较高,因为这些属性的提供成本较高,并且它们提高了需求。当某些产品属性未被研究人员观察到或难以测量时,例如设计的时尚性,估计的价格弹性将会向正方向偏差。
这个问题通常因难以确定这种偏差而加剧。考虑到未观察到的广告的估计价格弹性。优化的公司在价格和广告方面都最大化利润,因此一般来说,它们不能是独立的。如果公司认为广告能刺激需求,它们可能会在广告时提高产品价格。或者,公司在广告时可能会降低价格(例如,作为促销的一部分)。这两种情况的可能性使得偏差的符号变得模糊。
在本文中,我们提出了一种控制函数方法,以缓解离散选择需求设置中的偏差。 3 该方法在经验规范中包括额外变量,以消除与内生变量不独立的未观察因素的变异。我们使用经济理论推导出这些控制变量,以指向包含未观察需求因素信息的替代方程。尽管我们的实证应用侧重于定价方程,但任何包含相关未观察因素信息的方程都可以使用。例如,我们预计研究人员将探索广告方程,因为它也受到未观察需求因素的影响。
在离散选择需求设置中,最广泛使用的偏差校正方法是 Berry(1994)和 Berry、Levinsohn 和 Pakes(1995;以下简称 BLP)为市场级数据开发的产品市场控制方法,然后扩展到消费者级数据(Berry、Levinsohn 和 Pakes 2004;Goolsbee 和 Petrin 2004)。该方法利用总需求方程作为未观察到的需求因素的信息来源,并已应用于消费者在电视选项(Crawford 2000;Goolsbee 和 Petrin 2004)、小型货车(Petrin 2002)和杂货商品(Chintagunta、Dubé和 Goh 2005;Nevo 2001)之间的选择,仅举几例。
我们的控制函数方法为 BLP 方法提供了一种有用的替代方案。控制函数方法不仅更容易估计,而且在某些 BLP 估计器无效的情况下也可用。例如,在每种产品的购买观察数为零、一或仅有少量的情况下,BLP 方法是不一致的,因为它要求市场份额的观察具有相对较小的抽样误差(参见 Berry, Linton, 和 Pakes 2004)。BLP 方法也不适用于许多最近开发的实证需求模型,这些模型要么保持与 BLP 设置不一致的假设,要么复杂到无法估计 BLP 控制(例如,Bajari 等 2007;Fox 2008;Hendel 和 Nevo 2006)。相比之下,我们的控制函数方法只是向需求规范中添加新的回归变量,使其在所有这些情况下都可用。
在我们的实证应用中,两种方法都适用,因此我们估计了两者以进行比较。我们还在“与产品市场控制的比较”一节中提供了更多关于这些方法的讨论。
在需求设置中与内生性相关的其他方法已经被开发出来。Louviere 及其同事(2005)描述了营销环境中内生性的各种表现及其对估计的影响。基于 Villas-Boas 和 Winer(1999)的工作,Kuksov 和 Villas-Boas(2008)描述了测试内生性的方法。Villas-Boas 和 Winer(1999)以及 Gupta 和 Park(2009)开发了一种最大似然方法,而 Yang、Chen 和 Allenby(2003)以及 Jiang、Manchanda 和 Rossi(2007)则开发了处理内生性的贝叶斯方法。
在以下部分中,我们描述了控制函数方法,提供了示例规范,讨论了与定价行为的关系,并通过家庭在电视选项中的选择应用来说明我们的方法。
Model 模型
消费者 n 选择 J 个竞争替代品中的一个。消费者从替代品 j 获得的效用如下:
其中 y nj 是观察到的内生变量,x nj 是影响从选择 j 中获得的效用的观察到的外生变量的向量,β n 是代表消费者 n 的偏好的参数,ε nj 是未观察到的效用。 4 内生变量可能是价格、广告、旅行时间或在上下文中相关的任何内容。经济计量问题的产生是因为 ε nj 与 y nj 不是独立的,这与标准估计技术所保持的一致。
控制函数校正的思想是推导出一个代理变量,该变量以 y nj 中依赖于 ε nj 的部分为条件。如果能做到这一点,内生变量的剩余变动将与误差无关,标准估计方法将再次一致。
在这种离散选择背景下,该方法假设 y nj 可以写成所有进入任何选择效用的外生变量的函数,记为 x n ;变量 z n 不直接进入效用但影响 y nj (通常是工具变量);以及一个包含 J 个未观察到项的向量 μ n :
该方法认为 μ n 和 ε nj 独立于 x n 和 z n ,但彼此之间并不独立。这个方程说明了 y nj 和 ε nj 之间依赖关系的来源——即 μ n 影响 y nj ,并且也不独立于 ε nj 。
控制函数方法的关键在于注意到,在维持的假设下,条件于 μ n ,ε nj 与 y nj 独立。控制函数方法在任何环境中的可行性将取决于实践者是否能够恢复 μ n ,以便在估计参数时对其进行条件化。 5
我们分析了当 y nj 在其观察到和未观察到的协变量中是加法时的控制函数情况。一个特殊的、说明性的情况是每个选择 j 有一个单一的未观察因素 μ nj :
我们明确指出该函数的参数γ。通过加性和独立性假设,可以使用任何标准估计量(例如,普通最小二乘法)直接恢复控制μ nj 。问题变成了如何将新的控制项输入效用函数,以消除 y nj 和ε nj 之间的依赖性。
一种方法是以灵活的方式输入 μ nj 以消除其任何函数。将 ε nj 分解为可以通过 μ nj 的一般函数解释的部分和残差,得到以下结果:
其中 CF(μ nj ; λ) 表示具有参数 λ 的控制函数。最简单的近似是将控制函数指定为 μ nj 的线性函数,在这种情况下,控制函数为 CF(μ nj ; λ) = λμ nj ,λ 是一个标量,效用如下:
或者,我们可以允许多项式近似,添加更高阶的μ nj 项和必要的附加参数。
更普遍地,可以在计算控制函数时对任何选择 j 的整个控制向量 μ n 进行条件处理。在这种情况下,我们有以下内容:
可以用参数向量 CF(μ n ; λ) = λ′μ n 的一阶近似。
同样,高阶项的添加也很简单,尽管参数会随着备选项数量的增加而迅速增加。根据研究者选择的控制函数规范,我们有以下内容:
在 μ n 条件下,消费者 n 选择替代方案 i 的概率等于
其中 f(·) 是 β n 和
通常的方法是为 β n 和 ε nj 的分布选择特定的函数形式(例如,正态分布,逻辑斯蒂分布),尽管这些通常难以用经济理论来解释。它们几乎总是被选择为相互独立的,我们在这里也保持这一假设,这意味着在我们的设置中,β n 和
该模型分两步估计。首先,将内生变量对观察到的选择特征和工具变量进行回归。保留该回归的残差并用于计算控制函数。其次,带有控制函数作为额外变量的选择模型进行估计。
由于第二步使用的是第一步的μ n 估计值,而不是真实的μ n ,因此第二步估计量的渐近抽样方差需要考虑这一额外的变异来源。可以实施自助法,或者使用两步估计量的标准公式(Murphy 和 Topel 1985;Newey 和 McFadden 1994)。Karaca-Mandic 和 Train(2003)推导出了适用于控制函数方法的这些公式的具体形式。正如他们所指出的,自助法和渐近公式为我们在实证结果中描述的应用提供了相似的标准误差。
Parametric Functional Forms
参数化函数形式
我们考虑了两个方程中误差的几种参数形式。这些参数形式直接导致了控制函数本身的参数形式以及在控制条件下需求残差的分布。尽管它们不需要被维持,但它们提供了一种替代方法,可以灵活地在效用中输入μ n ,然后为
Example 1: Jointly Normal Errors, Independent over j
示例 1:联合正态误差,j 之间独立
假设 μ nj 和 ε nj 对于每个 j 是联合正态分布并且在 j 上是独立同分布的。那么,
对于每个 j,偏差
其中
如果 β n 是固定的,模型是一个独立的 Probit 模型,残差作为一个额外变量进入。如果 β n 是随机的,模型是一个混合独立 Probit 模型,在 β n 的密度上混合(Train 2003,第 5 章和第 6 章关于 Probit 和混合 Logit)。然而,请注意,估计模型的尺度与原始模型的尺度不同。特别是,
Example 2: Extreme Value and Joint Normal Error Components, Independent over j
示例 2:极值和联合正态误差分量,在 j 之间独立
前面的例子可以修改为生成一个混合逻辑模型,该模型在原始模型和估计模型中具有相同的尺度归一化。这是 Villas-Boas 和 Winer(1999,第 2 节)使用的规范之一。设
其中 η nj 是独立同分布的标准正态分布。该模型是一个混合逻辑模型,混合了误差成分 η nj ,其标准差 σ 被估计,以及 β n 的随机元素。原始效用中的尺度通过设置

示例 3:极值和联合正态误差分量,j 之间的相关性
概念上的推广是直接的,但参数数量显著增加。设
其中 η n 现在是一个 J 个独立同分布的标准正态偏差的向量,Γ 是
Pricing Behavior and the Control Function Approach
定价行为与控制函数方法
考虑消费者在产品之间的选择,其中内生变量 y nj 是价格 p nj 。我们使用先前建议的控制变量的一些变体,结合边际成本和垄断定价,研究控制函数方法。消费者 n 从产品 j 获得的效用如示例 2 所示:
其中
消费者 n 选择集中的产品 j 的边际成本表示为 MC(z nj , ν nj ),其中 z nj 是分析师观察到的外生变量,ν nj 是未观察到的。观察到的变量 z nj 通常会与 x nj 重叠,因为产品的观察属性会同时影响需求和成本。
Marginal Cost Pricing 边际成本定价
考虑边际成本(MC)定价,并假设 MC 在未观察到的项中是可分离的。定价方程变为
其中 γ 是需要估计的参数。按照示例 2,假设
其中 η nj 是独立同分布的标准正态分布。当价格的确定中存在恒定的成本加成时,同样的规格是合适的。
Monopoly Pricing 垄断定价
考虑垄断定价,其中价格取决于需求弹性和边际成本。垄断者的定价方程如下: 6
其中
现在,假设分析师估计了以下价格方程:
然后,
在这种情况下,Villas-Boas(2007)建议反向操作。与其先指定
Empirical Model and Data 经验模型和数据
例如,我们将控制函数方法应用于家庭选择电视接收选项。规格和数据与 Goolsbee 和 Petrin(2004)相似,他们采用了 BLP 方法。通过使用两种方法都可以应用的情况,我们能够比较结果。
一般来说,家庭有四种电视选择:(1) 仅使用天线,(2) 基本或扩展服务的有线电视,(3) 增加了高级服务(如 HBO)的有线电视,(4) 卫星电视。基本和扩展有线电视被合并在一起,因为数据没有区分家庭选择了哪种选项。Goolsbee 和 Petrin(2004)描述了有线电视和卫星电视的市场,强调了考虑价格内生性的重要性,因为有线电视的未观察到的属性(如节目质量)与价格不是独立的。
我们的样本包括 172 个地理上不同的市场中的 11,810 个家庭。每个市场包含一个提供基本、扩展和高级套餐的有线电视特许经营权。有几家多系统运营商,如 AT&T 和时代华纳,拥有全国许多有线电视特许经营权(因此服务于多个市场)。即使是由同一多系统运营商服务的市场,有线电视选项的价格和其他属性在各个市场之间也有所不同。卫星价格在地理上没有差异,天线仅选项的价格假定为零。估计价格影响所需的价格变化来自有线电视替代方案。
表 1 提供了抽样家庭及其可用服务选项的信息。样本中近 85%的家庭住在独栋住宅,平均收入约为 62,000 美元。最受欢迎的电视选项是基本和扩展有线电视,45%的家庭选择了这一选项。不到四分之一的家庭仅有天线接收。基本和扩展有线电视的平均价格约为每月 28 美元,价格范围从 16 美元到 45 美元(表中未显示)。高级有线电视的平均费用为 40 美元,价格范围从 26 美元到 56 美元。数据的更多详细信息见网络附录(http://www.marketingpower.com/jmrfeb10)。

由于电视替代品的属性在一个地理市场中对所有家庭都是相同的,我们为市场添加一个下标。设 U njm 为居住在市场 m 的家庭 n 从替代品 j 中获得的效用。市场 m 中替代品 j 的价格为 p mj ,因为它对市场 m 中的所有家庭都是相同的,所以没有用 n 作为下标。天线电视的价格为零,卫星电视的价格在各个市场或家庭中不变。两种有线电视选项的价格在地理市场中有所不同,有线电视服务的未观察到的属性(例如,节目质量)预计与价格相关。两种有线电视选项(j = 2, 3)的效用如示例 2 中所述:
其中
我们规定 μ mj 和
其中 η nj 是标准正态分布。
为了完成模型,我们将 V(·)指定如下:
我们将价格效应按收入组区分。我们确定了五个收入组,并将最低收入组作为基准。虚拟变量 d gn 用于识别家庭 n 是否属于收入组 g。最低收入组家庭的价格系数为α,而收入组 g > 1 的家庭的价格系数为α + θ g 。非价格属性 x mj 以固定系数进入。备选方案 j 的特定常数为 k。这些常数直接输入并与人口变量 s n 交互。
我们包括一个误差成分,以允许在三个非天线替代方案中未观察到的效用之间的相关性。特别地,如果 j 是三个非天线替代方案之一,则 c = 1,否则 c = 0,ω n 是一个独立同分布的标准正态偏差。系数 φ 是该误差成分的标准差,反映了非天线替代方案之间的相关程度。
因此,选择概率采用混合逻辑模型的形式(Brownstone 和 Train 1999;Train 1998),在误差成分的分布上进行混合:
其中φ(·)是标准正态密度函数
通过模拟近似积分:从标准正态密度中抽取η 2 、η 3 和ω的值,计算该抽样的 logit 公式,重复多次抽样,并对结果取平均值。为了提高准确性,我们使用 Halton(1960)抽样代替独立随机抽样。Bhat(2001)发现,100 次 Halton 抽样比 1000 次独立随机抽样表现更好,这一结果在其他数据集上也得到了证实(见 Hensher 2001;Munizaga 和 Alvarez-Daziano 2001;Train 2000, 2003)。
Results 结果
该方法的第一步是估计定价函数,以恢复进入选择模型中控制函数的残差。我们将每个市场的价格对表 2 中列出的产品属性以及 Hausman 类型的价格工具变量进行回归(参见 Hausman 1997b)。我们计算市场 m 的价格工具变量为由与市场 m 相同的多系统运营商服务的其他市场的平均价格。 7 在我们的背景下,如果同一多系统运营商在其他市场的价格反映了多系统运营商的共同成本而不是共同需求冲击(例如,未观察到的广告),那么这些工具变量是合适的。我们为扩展基本有线电视的价格和高级有线电视的价格创建了单独的工具变量,并使用每个方程中的所有工具变量分别对扩展基本价格和高级价格进行回归。 8

这些回归的残差未经转换直接进入混合逻辑模型;也就是说,控制函数是系数乘以产品市场残差,这是“模型”部分中提出的第一个也是最简单的规范。具体来说,扩展基本有线电视价格回归的残差进入扩展基本有线电视选项,优质有线电视也是如此。
表 2 给出了估计参数。变量分为三组:(1)在市场间变化但在每个市场的消费者间不变的变量,(2)在每个市场的消费者间变化的变量,(3)为纠正内生性而包含的额外变量。第一列给出了没有对价格和遗漏属性之间的相关性进行任何修正的模型;效用与我们之前指定的相同,只是残差
未经修正,基础价格系数 a 估计为-0.0202。如前所述,价格系数允许因收入组而异;收入组的估计价格系数差异θ g 在表的第二部分给出,因为这些变量在每个市场的家庭中有所不同。对于第二收入组,估计的价格系数是基础的-0.0202 加上差异的 0.0149,估计的价格系数为-0.0053。然而,请注意,对于收入组 3-5,这些组占大多数家庭,估计的差异在数量上超过了基础,因此估计的价格系数为正。这一结果与需求向下倾斜的预期相矛盾,使得该模型在预测目的和福利分析方面不可信(因为福利分析假设价格系数为负)。
包含控制功能以预期的方式调整了估计的价格系数。我们为所有收入群体获得了显著的负价格系数,因为基准系数估计值几乎增加了五倍,达到-0.10。随着收入的增加,价格弹性下降,最高收入群体的价格系数比最低收入群体的价格系数小约 30%。
残差显著且符号符合预期。特别是,当产品价格高于可由观察到的属性和其他观察到的因素解释的价格时,会出现正残差。正残差表明产品具有未在分析中包含的理想属性。残差以正系数进入需求模型与这一解释一致。
误差成分均不具有统计显著性,且假设两者的标准差均为零在任何有意义的置信水平下都不能被拒绝。这个结果可能意味着残差完全捕捉了有线服务的市场特定未观察到的属性,或者反映了在每个备选方案也具有独立同分布极值误差成分时估计备选方案特定正态误差成分的经验困难。
模型中包含了几个产品属性。在未修正的模型中,其中一个属性的符号不合理:有线频道的数量。经过修正后,所有产品属性的符号都符合预期。总体而言,数值是合理的。一个额外的高级频道比一个额外的普通有线频道更有价值。一个额外的无线频道也比一个额外的普通有线频道更有价值,可能是因为有线频道的泛滥导致其内容质量较低,使得额外有线频道的价值相对较低。按次付费观看的选项被高度重视。请注意,这个属性与其他属性不同,不是按频道计算的;其系数代表了购买按次付费事件的选项的价值。点估计表明,根据家庭收入的不同,家庭愿意为此选项每月支付 6.00 至 8.88 美元。
几个人口变量进入了模型。它们的估计系数在修正和未修正模型中相当相似。估计结果表明,受教育程度较高的家庭倾向于购买较少的电视接收服务:教育系数对于仅使用天线(通过归一化为零)、扩展基本有线电视、优质有线电视和卫星电视逐渐变得更加负面。较大的家庭不太容易像较小的家庭那样购买扩展基本有线电视。家庭规模对其他选择的差异非常不显著。我们在两个有线电视选项中分别包括了一个家庭是否租房的虚拟变量,并在卫星电视选项中单独包括了一个虚拟变量。这些变量解释了租房者可能不太能够安装有线电视连接,也不太愿意承担卫星天线的资本成本的概念。估计系数为负,证实了这些预期。 最后,一个家庭是否居住在单户住宅的虚拟变量进入卫星替代方案,以解释在多户住宅上安装卫星天线的相对困难。正如我们所预期的,估计系数是正的。
在校正内生性后的模型中,显著的系数比未校正的模型中更少。我们预期到这个结果,因为内生性校正试图从数据中获取更多信息(即未观察因素与价格的关系以及观察因素与需求的关系)。换句话说,未校正的模型通过假设价格与未观察因素独立,给人一种错误的精确感,而实际上价格与这些因素相关。值得注意的是,所有在校正后变得不显著的系数,在未校正时是显著的,都是那些在市场间变化但在每个市场内消费者间不变化的变量。这种模式反映了与价格相关的未观察属性在市场间变化,但在每个市场内的消费者间不变化,因为价格本身只在市场间变化。
Robustness Analysis 稳健性分析
与内生性问题一样,工具变量的选择也是一个问题。正如我们之前所述,我们使用了产品属性和 Hausman 类型的价格作为工具变量,这些工具变量虽然被广泛使用但也存在争议(Bresnahan 1997;Hausman 1997a)。在非聚合需求模型中,对额外工具变量的需求不像仅有聚合数据的模型那样严格,因为聚合人口统计数据不会进入非聚合模型,但它们会影响市场价格。因此,它们可以作为需求估计所需的额外工具变量。
我们在不使用其他地区的价格作为工具变量但包括总体人口统计数据的情况下重新估算了模型。使用控制函数方法,当我们去掉 Hausman 类型的价格作为工具变量时,估计的价格系数上升。如果其他市场的价格包含了未观察到的需求冲击的影响,这就是预期的变化方向。其他系数在两种方法下都没有受到影响。

鉴于 BLP 方法的广泛使用,我们简要地与控制函数方法进行比较。然后,我们讨论 BLP 模型估计及相同数据的结果。
BLP 方法使用总需求方程,通过将观察到的市场份额与模型预测的市场份额匹配来恢复未观察到的需求因素。相比之下,我们的控制函数方法是基于使用不同的方程来获取未观察到的需求因素的信息,例如定价或广告方程。
在大多数应用中,控制函数方法比 BLP 方法更容易实现。通常,第一步只是回归,第二步是最大似然,因此可以使用标准软件包(如 STATA、SAS(现在有混合 logit 和 probit 例程)、LIMDEP 和 Biogeme)来估计该方法。 10 两步估计器要求我们考虑估计的回归变量(如前所述),并且可以通过这些软件包的自举法估计采样协方差。
为了实现 BLP 估计器,有必要在估计过程中加入收缩程序。它通过迭代计算常数,使得在每个参数的试验值下预测份额和实际份额相等。这种计算并不简单,特别是在使用消费者级数据进行估计时。由于这种计算负担,据我们所知,BLP 程序在任何常见的统计软件包中仍然不可用。
由于 BLP 方法在非线性环境中将观察到的份额与预测份额匹配,结果对市场份额中的抽样误差敏感,正如 Berry、Linton 和 Pakes(2004)所示。在每种产品相对于消费者数量只有零、一或少量购买观察的情况下,它是不一致的,正如某些数据集中所存在的情况。 11 它还要求所有商品都是严格的替代品,而这是控制函数设置所不需要的。
BLP 方法包括每个市场中每个替代方案的常数δ mj 。在一个市场内不变的所有效用元素都被包含在这些常数中。之前给出的效用规范变成了以下内容:
常数表示为价格和其他观察属性的函数:
假设
我们分两个阶段进行估计,第一阶段是计算负担较重的阶段。首先,我们估计具有每个替代品和每个市场常数的混合逻辑模型。我们通过求解在每组参数值下匹配观察到的市场份额和预测市场份额的值来恢复这些常数,直到找到最小值。然后,这些估计的常数使用三阶段最小二乘法对产品属性进行回归。 12 对扩展基本有线电视、优质有线电视和卫星常数分别使用单独的方程,产品属性的系数在方程之间受到约束,如控制函数设置(以及我们所知的每个基于特征的设置)中一样。
结果见表 3。表格的底部给出了混合逻辑模型中人口统计系数的估计值。表格的顶部给出了常数对产品属性回归的结果。顶部的第一列给出了普通最小二乘法的结果,未考虑遗漏的属性,第二列给出了三阶段最小二乘法的结果。

注释:替代方案:(1) 仅天线,(2) 基本和扩展有线电视,(3) 高级有线电视,(4) 卫星。每个变量进入括号中列出的替代方案,并在其他替代方案中取值为零。统计显著性估计(p < .05)用粗体表示。标准误差在括号中。
与控制函数方法一样,遗漏变量的校正提高了估计的价格系数。未经校正,五个收入组中的三个得到了正的估计价格系数。经过校正,所有组都获得了显著的负价格系数。
估计的基础价格系数是-0.0922,而使用控制函数方法得到的是-0.1003。对于高收入群体的增量价格系数θ g ,两种方法的估计值相似。与控制函数方法一样,当忽略内生性时,有线电视频道的数量获得负系数,而当内生性得到纠正时,正如我们预期的那样,系数变为正值。所有产品属性的估计值与控制函数方法相似。
表 3 中的人口系数提供了与控制函数方法类似的结论。教育促使家庭减少购买电视接收服务。较大的家庭往往不购买扩展的基本有线电视。租房者不如房主那样容易购买有线电视和卫星电视。单户家庭比住在多户住宅的家庭更容易购买卫星接收服务。差异似乎在统计上不显著。
表 4 给出了每种方法模型的价格弹性。两种方法给出的弹性相似。例如,基本和扩展有线电视的同价弹性在控制函数方法下为-1.08,在 BLP 方法下为-0.97。

Conclusion 结论
价格、广告或其他变量是内生的这一担忧在许多应用中已被证明是重要的。在本文中,我们提出了一种控制函数方法来处理选择模型中的内生性问题。它利用观察到的变量和经济理论来推导出对未观察到的需求因素中不独立于内生变量的部分的控制。我们在本文中使用定价方程来推导控制,但我们相信还有许多其他可能的方程(例如,广告方程)也包含关于未观察到的需求因素的信息。
该方法为常用的 BLP 产品市场控制提供了一种替代方案,这些控制对市场份额中的抽样误差敏感,更难估计(尤其是使用消费者级数据时),并且不适用于许多最近提出的离散选择需求估计器。
我们应用这两种方法来研究家庭在电视选项中的选择,包括基本和高级有线电视套餐,其中未观察到的属性(如节目质量)预计与价格相关。如果不纠正内生性,每个电视选项的总需求是向上倾斜的。通过控制函数方法和产品市场控制方法得到的修正估计产生了相似且更为现实的需求弹性。
Footnotes 脚注
另一个常见的偏差出现在估计娱乐、购物、剧院等需求的弹性时,涉及到旅行时间。如果对这些活动有强烈兴趣的人住在这些活动附近,前往所需活动的旅行时间将与未观察到的兴趣负相关,从而导致需求弹性对旅行时间的负偏差。
未观察变量的变化,包括未测量的属性和广告,可能本身是由需求条件的变化引起的,例如品味的转变。在这种情况下,描述需求变化及其与未观察变量关系的模型将更全面地代表这种情况。
赫克曼和罗布(1985)在选择模型的背景下引入了“控制函数”一词,但这些概念至少可以追溯到赫克曼(1978)和豪斯曼(1978)。该方法已被史密斯和布伦德尔(1986)应用于 Tobit 模型,并被里弗斯和武昂(1988)应用于二元 Probit 模型。布伦德尔和鲍威尔(2004)在他们关于二元选择的半参数方法讨论中也包括了这一方法。
4 “观察到的”和“未观察到的”是从实践者的角度来看。消费者在做决定时会观察到所有术语。
正如 Imbens 和 Newey(2008)所示,条件于μ n 的任何一对一函数是足够的。
这种方程的更常见形式是 (p—MC)/p = 1/|e|。
据我们所知,控制函数方法尚未在横截面市场数据中应用过。Villas-Boas 和 Winer(1999)在他们的时间序列模型中使用滞后价格作为工具变量。
我们在“稳健性分析”部分讨论了替代工具的使用。
考虑两个具有相同人口统计特征的家庭,但它们居住在总体人口统计特征不同的地区。两个地区之间的部分价格差异可能归因于总体人口统计特征的差异。这部分价格差异提供了家庭之间的价格变化,可用于估计价格反应。
10 个用于混合逻辑回归的 Matlab 和 Gauss 代码也可以从 Train 的网站 http://elsa.berkeley.edu/~train/software.html 免费下载。
例如,在许多住房数据集中,房屋被购买零次或一次,违反了 BLP 估计量的一致性条件。另一个例子是 Martin(2008)对客户在白炽灯和紧凑型荧光灯(CFL)之间选择的研究,其中广告和促销(例如,折扣券)每周发生并在各个商店之间有所不同,但在某一周内某个商店不卖任何 CFL 是很常见的。在将市场定义为商店-周的情况下,Martin 报告说 65%的 CFL 市场份额为零。
12 个无线电视频道的负数进入这些方程,因为在表 2 的模型中,这个属性进入了仅天线的替代方案,而现在它进入了非天线替代方案的常数。
