A finite mixture of Tobit models is suggested for estimation of regression models with a censored response variable. A mixture of models is not primarily adapted due to a true component structure in the population; the flexibility of the mixture is suggested as a way of avoiding non-robust...

The quadratic mode regression estimator has been suggested for truncated regression models where symmetry characterizes the distribution of disturbances. In this paper the estimator is shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal distributed under asymmetrically distributed disturbances.

This article uses Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) to evaluate restoration scenarios aimed at improving angling on the Em River in Sweden. We find that none of the proposed projects are socially profitable when considering only values associated with angling. We rely on a Choice Experiment (CE) to...

In addition to its empirical results, this paper makes three distinct contributions to the literature on valuing fishing recreation by stated preference methods. In particular, the paper proposes a new approach to designing a choice experiment, called 'approximate minimax design'. It employs the...

An estimator is proposed for semiparametric linear regression models with left truncated and right censored dependent variables. The estimator is derived from a moment condition following the principles of Newey [Newey, W.K., 2001. Conditional moment restrictions in censored and truncated...

This paper includes a simulation study on the bias and MSE properties of a two-step probit model estimator for handling missing values in covariates by conditional imputation. In one smaller simulation it is compared with an asymptotically ecient estimator and in one larger it is compared with...
