Better Bunching, Nicer Notching
The bunching command uses bunching to partially and point identify the elasticity of a response variable with respect to changes in the slope of the budget set using different assumptions on unobserved heterogeneity according to the procedures of Bertanha, McCallum, and Seegert (2022). The command bunching is a master function that combines three other commands included in the package: bunchbounds for partial identification, bunchtobit for point identification, and bunchfilter to filter out friction errors.
