Analyzing ordered categorical data derived from elliptically symmetric distributions

Kukuk, Martin - Wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fakultät, … - 1998

The polychoric correlation is an ML estimator for the correlation parameter between two latent variables. Each latent … distribution for the latent variables which in this case is the bivariate standard normal distribution. We perform a simulation … distribution. The results show that the polychoric correlation is robust in the sense that the true correlation between the latent …

Indirect estimation of linear models with ordinal regressors : a Monte Carlo study and some empirical illustrations

Kukuk, Martin - 1998

This paper investigates the effects of ordinal regressors in linear regression models. Each ordered categorical variable is interpreted as a rough measurement of an underlying continuous variable as it is often done in microeconometrics for the dependent variable. It is shown that using ordinal...

Bayesian Inference in Dynamic Disequilibrium Models: An Application to the Polish Credit Market

Bauwens, Luc; Lubrano, Michel - In: Econometric Reviews 26 (2007) 2-4, pp. 469-486

We propose a Bayesian approach for inference in a dynamic disequilibrium model. To circumvent the difficulties raised by the Maddala and Nelson (1974) specification in the dynamic case, we analyze a dynamic extended version of the disequilibrium model of Ginsburgh et al. (1980). We develop a...

Nonparametric Analysis of Treatment Effects in Ordered Response Models

Boes, Stefan - Institut für Volkswirtschaftslehre, … - 2007

This paper deals with the identification of treatment effects when the outcome variable is ordered. If outcomes are measured ordinally, previously developed methods to investigate the impact of an endogenous binary regressor on average outcomes cannot be applied as the expectation of an ordered...

Going Beyond Functionings to Capabilities: An Econometric Model to Explain and Estimate Capabilities

Krishnakumar, Jaya - In: Journal of Human Development and Capabilities 8 (2007) 1, pp. 39-63

Any attempt to operationalize the capability approach necessitates an adequate framework for the measurement of the abstract unobservable multidimensional concept that the term 'capability' stands for. One such attempt is the latent variable approach, which considers the different dimensions of...
