conclusions in both models, mothers’ employment had a negative effect on children’s health at birth; i.e. mothers’ employment increased the possibility of low birth weight due to malnutrition in children. however, mother’s education had a positive effect on children’s health at birth; i.e. an increase mothers’ education will decrease the possibility of children’s low birth weight. “family size”...

This study simultaneously models crash severity of both parties in two-vehicle accidents at signalized intersections in Taipei City, Taiwan, using a novel bivariate generalized ordered probit (BGOP) model. Estimation results show that the BGOP model performs better than the conventional bivariate ordered probit (BOP) model in terms of goodness-of-fit indices and prediction accuracy and provides...

This paper estimates ordered logit and probit regression models for bank ratings which also include a country index to capture country-specific variation. The empirical findings provide support to the hypothesis that the individual international bank ratings assigned by Fitch Ratings are underpinned by fundamental quantitative financial analyses. Also, there is strong evidence of a country effe...

Many databases involve ordered discrete responses in a temporal and spatial context, including, for example, land development intensity levels, vehicle ownership, and pavement conditions. An appreciation of such behaviors requires rigorous statistical methods, recognizing spatial effects and dynamic processes. This study develops a dynamic spatial ordered probit (DSOP) model in order to capture...

Instrumental variable models for discrete outcomes are set, not point, identifying. The paper characterises identi…ed sets of structural functions when endogenous variables are discrete. Identi…ed sets are unions of large numbers of convex sets and may not be convex nor even connected. Each of the component sets is a projection of a convex set that resides in a much higher dimensional space ont...

Transport policymakers need to have an in-depth understanding of public transport (PT) customers in order effectively manage systems and maintain the attractiveness these potential users. This research aims compare perceptions satisfaction levels two groups PT users (habitual occasional) among university staff students regarding quality through a new integrated approach. A sample 500 participan...
