α: calibrated so average coauthorship-adjusted count equals average raw count
We propose a methodology for combining several sources of model and data incompleteness and partial identification, which we call Composition Theorem. We apply this methodology to the construction of confidence regions with partially identified models of general form. The region is obtained by inverting a test of internal consistency of the econometric structure. We develop a dilation bootstrap methodology to deal with sampling uncertainty without reference to the hypothesized economic structure. It requires bootstrapping the quantile process for univariate data and a novel generalization of the latter to higher dimensions. Once the dilation is chosen to control the confidence level, the unknown true distribution of the observed data can be replaced by the known empirical distribution and confidence regions can then be obtained as in Galichon and Henry (2011) and Beresteanu et al. (2011).
