Abstract
We study (point) identification of preference coefficients in semiparametric discrete choice models for bundles. The approach to the identification uses an “identification at infinity†(Chamberlain (1986)) insight in combination with median independence restrictions on unobservables. We propose two-stage maximum score (MS) estimators and show their consistency
