We use a dynamic panel Tobit model with heteroskedasticity to generate forecasts for large cross‐section of short time series censored observations. Our fully Bayesian approach allows us flexibly estimate the cross‐sectional distribution heterogeneous coefficients and then implicitly this as prior construct Bayes individual series. In addition density forecasts, we set that explicitly target av...

abstract using tobit model, this study investigated factors affecting on crop risk frequency of farmers in the north khorasan province. data was collected through interviewing 120 farmers of north khorasan province in 2008. results showed that age, farm ownership and off farm employment affected frequency of risk negatively. non-agricultural activity, participating in a crop supervisory plan an...

The rapid development and widespread application of Internet has provided a platform for people to participate and discuss social hotspot events. In the meantime, emergency events have attained more attention and have been spread more quickly than they did ever before by this way. However, the public opinion on Internet usually exerts a heavy impact on the development of emergency events as wel...

This paper derives consistent standard errors for a panel Tobit model in the presence of correlated errors. The problem is framed in the context of Newey and West (1987), considering the Tobit model as a special case of a GMM estimator. JEL codes: C23, C24

Our primary objective is to assess the role of culture by linking college students’ current consumption of fruits and vegetables with their produce consumption levels while with family. Using a Tobit model, we analyzed data from an online survey with college students. Family consumption of fruits was highly predictive of the individual’s consumption of fruits. For each unit increase in the repo...

Ownership structure and industry characteristics as internal and external factors respectively significantly impact the export performance of Chinese manufacturing firms. Three different yet related models, namely, logit, tobit and ordered probit models, that correspond to three different indicators of export performance are considered. It was found that the export performance of Chinese manufa...

Emergency events have been known more quickly and attained more attention than they did ever before. However, the public opinion on Internet usually exerts a heavy impact on the development of the emergency events as well as the social psychology. Aiming to provide a practical methodology for the management of Internet spread of emergency events, this paper presented a cycle model to describe t...

It is not unusual for the response variable in a regression model to be subject to censoring or truncation. Tobit regression models are specific examples of such a situation, where for some observations the observed response is not the actual response, but the censoring value (often zero), and an indicator that censoring (from below) has occurred. It is well-known that the maximum likelihood es...

In recent years, there has been an abundance of research that has used Poisson models and its variants (negative binomial and zero-inflated models) to improve our understanding of the factors that affect accident frequencies on roadway segments. This study explores the application of an alternate method, tobit regression, by viewing vehicle accident rates directly (instead of frequencies) as a ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting timely repayment of agricultural loans in fars province. the necessary data was obtained from agricultural bank as well as through 163 questionnaires, filled out in fars-province. the farmers were divided in to timely repayment and defaulter groups while standard tobit model being used for the study. the dependent variable in this m...
