We show that two alternative perspectives on how to deal with missing data in the context of the score-driven time-varying parameter models of Creal, Koopman, Lucas (2013) and Harvey (2013) lead to precisely the same dynamic transition equations. As score-driven models encompass a wide variety...

Missing values are endemic in the data sets available to econometricians. This paper suggests a unified likelihood-based approach to deal with several nonignorable missing data problems for discrete choice models. Our concern is when either the dependent variable is unobserved or situations when...

The authors analyze data on marital satisfaction, obtained from couples at two distinct moments in time (1990, 1995). The data are of a bivariate longitudinal type. Moreover, some couples provide incomplete records only, usually because the 1995 follow-up interview has not taken place. The...
