Bid data from a Vickrey auction for pork chops with embedded environmental attributes were analyzed. I t was found that approximately 62% of the participants had a positive WTP for the most "environmentally friendly" ly" package of pork. Thirty percent of the participants had no WTP, and 8% had a negative WTP. A polychoto­ mous choice model was used to accommodate data having an anchoring point...

It is widely feared that outward FDI gradually hollows out domestic manufacturing and displaces local workers. We address this concern by drawing on exceptionally informative firm-specific data on Taiwanese multinationals in manufacturing. In particular, we assess whether repercussions at home depend on the size, location and type of outward FDI. We control for firm heterogeneity and estimate o...

This document provides supplementary material to our paper “Gender, Competitiveness and Career Choices”. Appendix I presents tables with additional results. This includes descriptive statistics of the control variables (A.I), a comparison of study tracks by gender in the national statistics and in our sample (A.II), the distribution of undergraduate major students by study track at the pre-univ...

In this paper, we consider estimation of nonlinear panel data models that include individual specific fixed effects. Estimation of these models is complicated by the incidental parameters problem; that is, noise in the estimation of the fixed effects when the time dimension is short generally results in inconsistent estimates of the common parameters due to the nonlinearity of the problem. We p...

Most genomic-enabled prediction models developed so far assume that the response variable is continuous and normally distributed. The exception is the probit model, developed for ordered categorical phenotypes. In statistical applications, because of the easy implementation of the Bayesian probit ordinal regression (BPOR) model, Bayesian logistic ordinal regression (BLOR) is implemented rarely ...
