Abstract
This paper studies the nonparametric identification of partial differences of a nonseparable structural function that determines the value of a discrete or continuous random variable when the function depends on endogenous variates which have discrete probability distributions. Weak conditions are developed under which a partial difference of a structural function with respect to a discrete endogenous variable is nonparametrically identified up to an interval. The interval is short when there are many points of support of the endogenous variable. The interval has finite length if there are at least three points of support but not when there are only two. The interval can be estimated using quantile regression estimation methods.
