DESCRIPTION:'Estimation of a Heterogeneous Demand Function with Berkson Err
 ors'\n\nJoel Horowitz (Northwestern)\n	Montreal Econometrics Seminar\n	Octob

 are commonplace in empirical microeconomics. In consumer demand\, this for
 m of measurement error occurs when the price an individual pays is measure
 d by the (weighted) average price paid by individuals in a group (e.g.\, a
  county) rather than the true transaction price. We show the importance of
  Berkson errors for demand estimation with nonseparable unobserved heterog
 eneity. We develop a consistent estimator using external information on th
 e true price distribution. Examining gasoline demand in the United States\
 , we document substantial within-market price variability. Accounting for 
 Berkson errors is quantitatively important. Imposing the Slutsky shape con
 straint reduces sensitivity to Berkson errors.\n
