A Bootstrap Estimator for Dynamic Optimization Models

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Computational Economics ((AICE,volume 3))

Abstract

We propose a technique for computing parameter estimates of dynamic and stochastic programming problems for which boundary conditions must be imposed. We demonstrate the feasibility of the technique by computing and interpreting the estimates of a dynamic food price margin model using secondary economic time series data.
