Semiparametric Binary Random Effects Models: Estimating Two Types of Drinking Behavior

This paper proposes a new estimator for cross section semiparametric regressions containing an unobserved binary random effect and applies it to alcohol consumption. The unobserved random effect (health-consciousness) explains a significant proportion of the otherwise unexplained variation in alcohol consumption. Higher education positively correlates with health-consciousness.
