How to use economic theory to improve estimators - Supplementary Appendix. Maximiliam Kasy, November 6, 2016, Paper, "This appendix provides some additional discussion, supplementing the manuscript of “How to use economic theory to improve estimators.” Our theoretical results suggest that the proposed empirical Bayes estimators should uniformly outperform unrestricted estimators and outperform structural (restricted) estimators for most parameter values. In Section A, we discuss some Monte Carlo simulations which do indeed confirm these predictions." Link
