This page contains a full list of references cited in the documentation, including the original work of Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes (1995). If you use PyBLP in your research, we ask that you also cite the below Conlon and Gortmaker (2020), which describes the advances implemented in the package. If you use PyBLP’s micro moments functionality, we ask that you also cite Conlon and Gortmaker (2023), which describes the standardized framework implemented by PyBLP for incorporating micro data into BLP-style estimation.
