Simple Endogenous Binary Choice and Selection Panel Model Estimators

Lewbel, Arthur - Department of Economics, Boston College - 2005

This paper provides numerically trivial estimators for short panels of either binary choices or of linear models that suffer from confounded, nonignorable sample selection. The estimators allow for fixed effects, endogenous regressors, lagged dependent variables, and heterokedastic errors with...

Latent Variables in a Travel Mode Choice Model: Attitudinal and Behavioural Indicator Variables

Vredin Johansson, Maria; Heldt, Tobias; Johansson, Per - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2005

In a travel mode choice context, we use survey data to construct and test the significance of five individual specific latent variables – environmental preferences, safety, comfort, convenience and flexibility - postulated to be important for modal choice. Whereas the construction of the...

A General Multivariate Latent Growth Model With Applications to Student Achievement

Bianconcini, Silvia; Cagnone, Silvia - In: Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics 37 (2012) 2, pp. 339-364

The evaluation of the formative process in the University system has been assuming an ever increasing importance in the European countries. Within this context, the analysis of student performance and capabilities plays a fundamental role. In this work, the authors propose a multivariate latent...
