Researchers frequently make parametric assumptions about the distribution of
unobservables when formulating structural models. Such assumptions are
typically motived by computational convenience rather than economic theory and
are often untestable. Counterfactuals can be particularly sensitive to such
assumptions, threatening the credibility of structural modeling exercises. To
address this issue, we leverage insights from the literature on ambiguity and
model uncertainty to propose a tractable econometric framework for
characterizing the sensitivity of counterfactuals with respect to a
researcher's assumptions about the distribution of unobservables in a class of
structural models. In particular, we show how to construct the smallest and
largest values of the counterfactual as the distribution of unobservables spans
nonparametric neighborhoods of the researcher's assumed specification while
other `structural' features of the model, e.g. equilibrium conditions, are
maintained. Our methods are computationally simple to implement, with the
nuisance distribution effectively profiled out via a low-dimensional convex
program. Our procedure delivers sharp bounds for the identified set of
counterfactuals (i.e. without parametric assumptions about the distribution of
unobservables) as the neighborhoods become large. Over small neighborhoods, we
relate our procedure to a measure of local sensitivity which is further
characterized using an influence function representation. We provide a suitable
sampling theory for plug-in estimators and apply our procedure to models of
strategic interaction and dynamic discrete choice
