This paper outlines a simple routine to calculate the marginal effects of logit and probit regressions using the popular statistical software package R. I compare results obtained using this procedure with those produced using Stata. An extension of this routine to the generalized linear mixed...

The paper re-examines existing estimators for the panel data fixed effects ordered logit model, proposes a new one, and studies the sampling properties of these estimators in a series of Monte Carlo simulations. There are two main findings. First, we show that some of the estimators used in the...

This paper analyses the determinants of growth of American cities, understood as growth of the population or of per capita income, from 1990 to 2000. This empirical analysis uses data from all cities with more than 25,000 inhabitants in the year 2000 (1154 cities). The results show that while a...

In dieser Arbeit analysieren wir Einkommensverläufe von Frauen in Österreich. Unser Ziel ist es, mit Hilfe von zusätzlichen erklärenden Variablen wie z.B. dem Alter bei Berufseintritt, der Kinderanzahl oder einer Karenzvariable, Gruppen von erwerbst¨atigen Frauen mit ähnlichen...

This paper studies the identification of the costs of simultaneous search in portfolio problems (Chade and Smith, 2006). We show that market shares data from a single market do not provide sufficient information to identify the search cost distribution in any interval, even if...

Logit response games with spatial structures are exactly solved. We exactly derive the probability that a player choose a strategy, the correlation function of strategies of distant players, and the expected utility
