Abstract This paper develops finite mixture models with fixed effects for two families of distributions for which the incidental parameter problem has a solution. Analytical results are provided for mixtures of Normals and mixtures of Poisson. We provide algorithms based on the...

This paper develops and implements a GMM estimator for latent class models suitable for count data. The estimator uses conditional moment restrictions derived from standard count models. Both the efficient and consistent variants are considered. The implementation of optimal GMM based on...

This paper presents a new multivariate copula-based modeling approach for analyzing cost-offsets between drug and nondrug expenditures. Estimates are based on panel data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) with quarterly measures of medical expenditures. The approach allows for...
