A Bivariate Ordered Probit Estimator with Mixed Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we discuss the derivation and application of a bivariate ordered probit model with mixed effects. Our approach allows one to estimate the distribution of the effect (gamma) of an endogenous ordered variable on an ordered explanatory variable. By allowing gamma to vary over the population, our estimator offers a more flexible parametric setting to recover the causal effect of an endogenous variable in an ordered choice setting. We use Monte Carlo simulations to examine the performance of the maximum likelihood estimator of our system and apply this to a relevant example from the UK education literature.1 JEL: C35; C51; I20

Categorical outcome (or discrete outcome or qualitative response) regression models are models for a discrete dependent variable recording in which of two or more categories an outcome of interest lies. For binary data (two categories) probit and logit models or semiparametric methods are used. For multinomial data (more than two categories) that are unordered, common models are multinomial and...

متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Underreporting of Crash Data on Three Commonly Used Traffic Crash Severity Models: Multinomial Logit, Ordered Probit and Mixed Logit Models
Although a lot of work has been devoted to developing crash severity models to predict the probabilities of crashes for different severity levels, very few studies have considered the underreporting issue in the modeling process. Inferences about a population of interest will be biased if crash data are treated as a random sample coming from the population without considering the different unre...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo comparison of estimators for a bivariate probit model with selection
A Monte Carlo experiment is undertaken to examine the small sample properties of three alternative estimators of a bivariate probit model with selection. The three estimators are the censored probit estimator, single-equation probit applied to the selected sub-sample and single-equation probit applied to the full sample. These estimators are compared in terms of properties of coefficient estima...
متن کاملA mixed approach and a distribution-free multiple imputation technique for the estimation of a multivariate probit model with missing values.
In the present paper a mixed generalized estimating/pseudo-score equations (GEPSE) approach together with a distribution-free multiple imputation technique is proposed for the estimation of regression and correlation structure parameters of multivariate probit models with missing values for an ordered categorical time-invariant variable. Furthermore, a generalization of the squared trace correl...
