Abstract

This paper proposes minimum sliced distance estimation in structural econometric models with possibly parameter-dependent supports. In contrast to likelihood-based estimation, we show that under mild regularity conditions, the minimum sliced distance estimator is asymptotically normally distributed leading to simple inference regardless of the presence/absence of parameter dependent supports. We illustrate the performance of our estimator on an auction model.
