Abstract
⺠We test the extreme value type I (EVI) assumption of dynamic discrete choice models. ⺠Flexible distributions detect skewness and kurtosis not detected using EVI. ⺠In most specifications, EVI shocks cannot be rejected. ⺠When EVI shocks are rejected, significantly different predictions obtain at some states.
