structural-modeling
This skill covers structural econometric models. Use when the user is building, estimating, or debugging structural models — including BLP demand estimation, dynamic discrete choice, auction models, or any workflow involving moment conditions, nested fixed-point algorithms, or MPEC formulations. Triggers on "structural model", "moment conditions", "NFXP", "MPEC", "BLP", "random coefficients", "dynamic discrete choice", "CCP", "Rust model", "auction estimation", "GMM objective", "inner loop", "contraction mapping", or convergence/starting value problems in optimization-based estimation.

# Structural Modeling Reference for implementing structural econometric models: from economic model to moment conditions to estimated parameters. Covers the full workflow of taking a theoretical model, deriving its empirical content, and recovering structural parameters from data. ## When to Use This Skill Use when the user is: - Specifying a structural model and deriving moment conditions - Imple
What does the structural-modeling skill do?
This skill covers structural econometric models.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill structural-modeling --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
