Simple Estimators For Hard Problems: Endogeneity in Discrete Choice Related Models
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes numerically simple estimators that can be used to estimate binary choice and other related models (such as selection and ordered choice models) when some regressors are endogenous or mismeasured. Simple estimators are provided that allow for discrete or otherwise limited endogenous regressors, lagged dependent variables and other dynamic effects, heteroskedastic and autocorrelated latent errors, and latent Þxed effects.

Simple Estimators For Hard Problems: Endogeneity and Dependence in Binary Choice Related Models and Endogenous Selection or Treatment Model Estimation
This paper describes numerically simple estimators that can be used to estimate binary choice and other related models (such as selection and ordered choice models) when some regressors are endogenous or mismeasured. Simple estimators are provided that allow for discrete or otherwise limited endogenous regressors, lagged dependent variables and other dynamic effects, heteroskedastic and autocor...
متن کاملAddressing Endogeneity in Discrete Choice Models: Assessing Control-Function and Latent- Variable Methods
Endogenity or non-orthogonality in discrete choice models occurs when the systematic part of the utility is correlated with the error term. Under this misspecification, the model's estimators are inconsistent. This problem is virtually unavoidable, for example, in discrete choice models of residential choice where endogeneity occurs at the level of each observation mainly because of the omissio...
متن کاملComparing Features of Convenient Estimators for Binary Choice Models With Endogenous Regressors
We discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of four types of convenient estimators of binary choice models when regressors may be endogenous or mismeasured, or when errors are likely to be heteroskedastic. For example, such models arise when treatment is not randomly assigned and outcomes are binary. The estimators we compare are the two stage least squares linear probability model, ma...
متن کاملBehavioral and Descriptive Forms of Choice Models∗
Empirical work on choice models, especially on relatively new topics or data sets, often starts with descriptive, or what is colloquially referred to as “reduced form”, results. Our descriptive form formalizes this process. It is derived from the underlying behavioral model, has an interpretation in terms of fit, and can sometimes be used to quantify biases in agents’ expectations. We consider ...
متن کاملA Bayesian Semiparametric Approach for Endogeneity and Heterogeneity in Choice Models
Marketing variables included in consumer discrete choice models are often endogenous. Extant treatments using likelihood-based estimators impose parametric distributional assumptions such as normality, on the source of endogeneity. These assumptions are restrictive as misspecified distributions have an impact on parameter estimates and associated elasticities. The normality assumption for endog...
