Partially identified models are characterized by the distribution of observables being compatible with a set of values for the target parameter, rather than a single value. This set is often referred to as an identification;region. Prom a non-Bayesian point of view, the identification region is the object revealed to the investigator in the limit of increasing sample size. Conversely, a Bayesian analysis provides the identification region plus the limit big posterior distribution over this region. This purports to convey varying plausibility of values across the region. Taking a decision-theoretic view, we investigate the extent to which having a distribution across the identification region is indeed helpful.
