This paper first reviews some of the approaches that have been taken to estimate the common parameters of binary outcome models with fixed effects. We limit attention to situations in which the researcher has access to a data set with a large number of units (individuals or firms, for example)...

This paper studies the nonparametric identification and estimation of voters' preferences when voters are ideological. We establish that voter preference distributions and other parameters of interest can be identified from aggregate electoral data. We also show that these objects can be...

This note illustrates that the typical parameter, beta, in a censored regression model can be used to calculate an interesting marginal effect even when the errors in the model and the explanatory variables are not independent. The result is relevant for cross sectional models such at the ones...
