Book Limited Dependent and Qualitative Variables in Econometrics

Download or read book Limited Dependent and Qualitative Variables in Econometrics written by G. S. Maddala and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the econometric analysis of single-equation and simultaneous-equation models in which the jointly dependent variables can be continuous, categorical, or truncated. Despite the traditional emphasis on continuous variables in econometrics, many of the economic variables encountered in practice are categorical (those for which a suitable category can be found but where no actual measurement exists) or truncated (those that can be observed only in certain ranges). Such variables are involved, for example, in models of occupational choice, choice of tenure in housing, and choice of type of schooling. Models with regulated prices and rationing, and models for program evaluation, also represent areas of application for the techniques presented by the author.

Book Specification Errors in Limited Dependent Variable Models

Download or read book Specification Errors in Limited Dependent Variable Models written by G. S. Maddala and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A preliminary investigation of two specification error problems in truncated dependent variable models is reported. It is shown that heteroscedasticity in a tobit model results in biased estimates when the model is misspecified. This differs from the OLS model where estimates are still consistent though inefficient. The second problem examined is aggregation. An appropriate nonlinear least squares regression model is derived for situations when the micro-level model fits a tobit framework but only aggregate data are available.

Book Analysis of Panels and Limited Dependent Variable Models

Download or read book Analysis of Panels and Limited Dependent Variable Models written by Cheng Hsiao and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-07-29 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important collection brings together leading econometricians to discuss advances in the areas of the econometrics of panel data. The papers in this collection can be grouped into two categories. The first, which includes chapters by Amemiya, Baltagi, Arellano, Bover and Labeaga, primarily deal with different aspects of limited dependent variables and sample selectivity. The second group of papers, including those by Nerlove, Schmidt and Ahn, Kiviet, Davies and Lahiri, consider issues that arise in the estimation of dyanamic (possibly) heterogeneous panel data models. Overall, the contributors focus on the issues of simplifying complex real-world phenomena into easily generalisable inferences from individual outcomes. As the contributions of G. S. Maddala in the fields of limited dependent variables and panel data were particularly influential, it is a fitting tribute that this volume is dedicated to him.

Book Econometrics of Qualitative Dependent Variables

Download or read book Econometrics of Qualitative Dependent Variables written by Christian Gourieroux and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook introduces students progressively to various aspects of qualitative models and assumes a knowledge of basic principles of statistics and econometrics. Inferring qualitative characteristics of data on socioeconomic class, education, employment status, and the like - given their discrete nature - requires an entirely different set of tools from those applied to purely quantitative data. Written in accessible language and offering cogent examples, students are given valuable means to gauge real-world economic phenomena. After the introduction, early chapters present models with endogenous qualitative variables, examining dichotomous models, model specification, estimation methods, descriptive usage, and qualitative panel data. Professor Gourieroux also looks at Tobit models, in which the exogenous variable is sometimes qualitative and sometimes quantitative, and changing-regime models, in which the dependent variable is qualitative but expressed in quantitative terms. The final two chapters describe models which explain variables assumed by discrete or continuous positive variables.

Book The Effect of Ignoring Heteroscedasticity on Estimates of the Tobit Model

Download or read book The Effect of Ignoring Heteroscedasticity on Estimates of the Tobit Model written by Charles C. Brown and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We consider the sensitivity of the Tobit estimator to heteroscedasticity. Our single independent variable is a dummy variable whose coefficient is a difference between group means, and the error variance differs between groups. Heteroscedasticity biases the Tobit estimate of the two means in opposite directions, so the bias in estimating their difference can be significant. This bias is not monotonically related to the true difference, and is greatly increased if the limit observations are not available. Perhaps surprisingly, the Tobit estimates are sometimes more severely biased than are OLS estimates.

Book On Simultaneous Switching Autore

Download or read book On Simultaneous Switching Autore written by N. Kunitomo and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The simultaneous switching autoregressive (SSAR) model is a non-linear Markovian time series model, which was originally introduced by Kunitomo and Sato (1996a). This paper gives some conditions for the geometrical ergodicity of the SSAR models and discuss the estimation methods of unknown parameters. Also we shall mention to the relation between the SSAR models in the non-linear time series analysis and one type of disequilibrium econometric models, which is a tobit type in the class of limited dependent variables models. The latter class of econometric models has been extensively investigated and discussed by Amemiya(1985).
