Simple Estimators For Hard Problems: Endogeneity and Dependence in Binary Choice Related Models and Endogenous Selection or Treatment Model Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes numerically simple estimators that can be used to estimate binary choice and other related models (such as selection and ordered choice models) when some regressors are endogenous or mismeasured. Simple estimators are provided that allow for discrete or otherwise limited endogenous regressors, lagged dependent variables and other dynamic effects, heteroskedastic and autocorrelated latent errors, and latent Þxed effects.

Simple Estimators For Hard Problems: Endogeneity in Discrete Choice Related Models
This paper describes numerically simple estimators that can be used to estimate binary choice and other related models (such as selection and ordered choice models) when some regressors are endogenous or mismeasured. Simple estimators are provided that allow for discrete or otherwise limited endogenous regressors, lagged dependent variables and other dynamic effects, heteroskedastic and autocor...
متن کاملComparing Features of Convenient Estimators for Binary Choice Models With Endogenous Regressors
We discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of four types of convenient estimators of binary choice models when regressors may be endogenous or mismeasured, or when errors are likely to be heteroskedastic. For example, such models arise when treatment is not randomly assigned and outcomes are binary. The estimators we compare are the two stage least squares linear probability model, ma...
متن کاملSimple Endogenous Binary Choice and Selection Panel Model Estimators
This paper provides numerically trivial estimators for short panels of either binary choices or of linear models that suffer from confounded, missing not at random sample selection. The estimators allow for Þxed effects, endogenous regressors, weakly exogenous regressors, and heterokedastic errors with unknown distribution. The estimators, which converge at rate root n, are based on variants of...
متن کاملSimple Estimators for Binary Choice Models With Endogenous Regressors
This paper provides two main contributions to binary choice models with endogenous regressors. First, we propose some variants of special regressor based estimators that are numerically trivial to implement. These estimators provide consistent estimates of binary choice model coef cients when regressors (either discretely or continuously distributed) are endogenous, and when the latent errors h...
متن کاملA comparison of alternative methods to model endogeneity in count mod- els. An application to the demand for health care and health insurance choice
Several estimators have been suggested to tackle the problem of endogenous regressors and selectivity in count regression models. They differ in the structure and the degree of parameterization of the underlying models. The estimation of health services utilization conditional on the choice of different forms of health insurance provides a classical example of such problems. In Switzerland, bas...
