Chapter 4 IDENTIFICATION CHENG HSIAO In analyzing discrete choices made over time, two arguments favor the use of continuous time models. (1) In most economic models there is no natural time unit within which agents make their decisions and take their actions.

In biological and physical sciences an investigator who wishes to make inferences about certain parameters can usually conduct controlled experiments to isolate relations. Presumably in a well-designed experiment the treatment group and the control group are similar in every aspect except for the treatment. The difference in response may therefore be attributed to the treatment and the parameters of interest are identified. In economics and other social sciences we are less .
