A Heap of Trouble? Accounting for Mismatch Bias in Retrospectively Collected Data on Smoking
Bar, H; Lillard, D - Department of Economics and Related Studies, University … - 2010
When event data are retrospectively reported, more temporally distal events tend to get “heaped” on even multiples of reporting units. Heaping may introduce a type of attenuation bias because it causes researchers to mismatch time-varying right-hand side variables. We develop a model-based...

Non-pecuniary returns to higher education: the effect on smoking intensity in the UK
Miranda, Alfonso; Bratti, Massimiliano - 2006
In this paper we investigate whether higher education (HE) produces non-pecuniary returns via a reduction in the consumption of health-damaging substances. In particular, the paper focuses on studying the smoking intensity of British individuals. We use data on current smokers from the 1970...

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Endogenous Switching And Sample Selection Models for Binary, Count, And Ordinal Variables
Miranda, Alfonso; Rabe-Hesketh, Sophia - Centre for Economic Research, School of Economics and … - 2005
Studying behaviour in economics, sociology, and statistics often involves fitting models in which the response variable depends on a dummy variable (also known as a regime switch variable) or in which the response variable is observed only if a particular selection condition is met. In either...

Missing ordinal covariates with informative selection
Miranda, Alfonso; Rabe-Hesketh, Sophia - Department of Quantitative Social Science, Institute of … - 2010
This paper considers the problem of parameter estimation in a model for a continuous response variable y when an important ordinal explanatory variable x is missing for a large proportion of the sample. Non-missingness of x, or sample selection, is correlated with the response variable and/or...

Do designated drivers and workplace policies effect alcohol consumption?
Austin, Wesley A.; Ressler, Rand W. - In: Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics … 41 (2012) 1, pp. 104-109
driver lowers the cost of drinking which, in turn, increases alcohol consumption. We examine the effect on drinking intensity … (which incorporates low levels of alcohol use) and binge drinking (which measures greater alcohol use), using a proxy for … designated driver usage. If workplace rules forbid alcohol use for safety or other reasons, a large potential cost of drinking is …
