Bayesian Analysis of the Ordered Probit Model with Endogenous Selection∗

چکیده
This paper presents a Bayesian analysis of an ordered probit model with endogenous selection. The model can be applied when analyzing ordered outcomes that depend on endogenous covariates that are discrete choice indicators modeled by a multinomial probit model. The model is illustrated by analyzing the effects of different types of medical insurance plans on the level of hospital utilization, allowing for potential endogeneity of insurance status. The estimation is performed using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to approximate the posterior distribution of the parameters in the model.

A Bayesian Analysis of the OPES Model with a Non-parametric Component: Application to Dental Insurance and Dental Care
This paper analyzes the e¤ect of dental insurance on utilization of general dentist services by adult US population aged from 25 to 64 years using the ordered probit model with endogenous selection (OPES). Our econometric framework accommdates endogeneity of insurance and the ordered nature of the measure of dental utilization. The study nds strong evidence of endogeneity of dental insurance t...
متن کاملThe Analysis of Bayesian Probit Regression of Binary and Polychotomous Response Data
The goal of this study is to introduce a statistical method regarding the analysis of specific latent data for regression analysis of the discrete data and to build a relation between a probit regression model (related to the discrete response) and normal linear regression model (related to the latent data of continuous response). This method provides precise inferences on binary and multinomia...

متن کاملCrash Injury Severity Analysis Using Bayesian Ordered Probit Models
Understanding the underlying relationship between crash injury severity and factors such as driver’s characteristics, vehicle type, and roadway conditions is very important for improving traffic safety. Most previous studies on this topic used traditional statistical models such as ordered probit OP , multinomial logit, and nested logit models. This research introduces the Bayesian inference an...
متن کاملSelf-selection models for public and private sector job
We discuss a class of copula-based ordered probit models with endogenous switching. Such models can be useful for the analysis of self-selection in subjective well-being equations in general, and job satisfaction in particular, where assignment of regressors may be endogenous rather than random, resulting from individual maximization of well-being. In an application to public and private sector...
