We consider an additive model with second order interaction terms. It is shown how the components of this model can be estimated using marginal integration, and the asymptotic distribution of the estimators is derived. Moreover, two test statistics for testing the presence of interactions are...

Data ste which contain jointly endogeneous discrete and continuous variables often occur in practice. This paper presents a model of the economic and stochastic processes generating such data as well as methods of estimation. A maximum likelihood estimator is examined and found to exhibit the...

This paper introduces a method for simulating multivariate samples that have exact means, covariances, skewness and kurtosis. A new class of rectangular orthogonal matrices is fundamental to the methodology, and these "L-matrices'' can be deterministic, parametric or data specific in nature. The...
