Ambivalent about Ambivalence: A Re-examination of Heteroskedastic Probit Models
While the derivation and estimation of heterogeneous probit models appears straightforward, the properties of such models are not well understood. It is assumed that the properties of these models are identical to those of discrete choice models, but this may not be true. While these models are formally identified, we argue that they suffer from fragile identification. We first look for evidenc...
متن کاملUsing Heteroskedastic Ordered Probit Models to Recover Moments of Continuous Test Score Distributions from Coarsened Data
Test score distributions of schools or demographic groups are often summarized by frequencies of students scoring in a small number of ordered proficiency categories. We show that heteroskedastic ordered probit (HETOP) models can be used to estimate means and standard deviations of multiple groups’ test score distributions from such data. Because the scale of HETOP estimates is indeterminate up...
متن کاملA Qualitative Content Analysis of US Foreign Policy towards Cuba during Barack Obama’s Administration: Hegemony or Leadership?
The United States’ relations with Cuba are rooted in the US intervention in the process of Cuba’s independence from Spain in the 1890s. The US preserved its interest-based approach towards Cuba during the first half of the 20th century, which culminated in the Cuba’s counter-hegemonic revolution in 1959. This revolution led to more than fifty years of hostility between two countries, which took...
متن کاملWanting other attitudes: Actual–desired attitude discrepancies predict feelings of ambivalence and ambivalence consequences
• People can desire attitudes that differ in valence from their current attitude. • Actual–desired discrepancies lead people to feel ambivalent. • Discrepancies also reduce prediction of behavior and increase information interest. a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o The experience of attitudinal ambivalence (subjective ambivalence) is important because it predicts key consequences of attitude...
متن کاملDistribution Free Estimation of Heteroskedastic Binary Response Models Using Probit/Logit Criterion Functions
In this paper estimators for distribution free heteroskedastic binary response models are proposed. The estimation procedures are based on relationships between distribution free models with a conditional median restriction and parametric models (such as Probit/Logit) exhibiting (multiplicative) heteroskedasticity. The first proposed estimator is based on the observational equivalence between t...
