We describe specification and estimation of a multinomial treatment effects negative binomial regression model. A latent factor structure is used to accommodate selection into treatment, and a simulated likelihood method is used for estimation. We describe its implementation via the mtreatnb...

Studying behavior 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...

This paper presents a simple approach to deal with sample selection in models with multiplicative errors. Models for non-negative limited dependent variables such as counts fit this framework. The approach builds on a specification of the conditional mean of the outcome only and is, therefore,...
