An alternative root-n consistent estimator for panel data binary choice models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an alternative root-n consistent estimator for panel data fixed-effects binary choice models. The proposed estimator relaxes one of the key conditions that are required for the consistency of the estimator proposed in Honoré and Lewbel (2002), and is shown to be consistent and asymptotically normally distributed under some sufficient conditions. An easy to compute consistent estimator for the asymptotic covariance is provided.

Semiparametric Binary Choice Panel Data Models without Strictly Exogeneous Regressors
Most previous studies of binary choice panel data models with Þxed effects require strictly exogeneous regressors, and except for the logit model without lagged dependent variables, cannot provide rate root n parameter estimates. We assume that one of the explanatory variables is independent of the individual speciÞc effect and of the errors of the model, conditional on the other explanatory va...
متن کاملConsistent estimation of binary-choice panel data models with heterogeneous linear trends
This paper presents an extension of fixed effects binary choice models for panel data, to the case of heterogeneous linear trends. Two estimators are proposed: a Logit estimator based on double conditioning and a semiparametric, smoothed maximum score estimator based on double differences. We investigate small-sample properties of these estimators with a Monte Carlo simulation experiment, and c...
متن کاملSemiparametric Qualitative Response Model Estimation with Unknown Heteroscedasticity or Instrumental Variables
This paper provides estimators of discrete choice models, including binary, ordered, and multinomial response (choice) models. The estimators closely resemble ordinary and two stage least squares. The distribution of the models latent variable error is unknown and may be related to the regressors, e.g., the model could have errors that are heteroscedastic or correlated with regressors. The est...
متن کاملRoot-N Consistent Semiparametric Estimators of a Dynamic Panel-Sample-Selection Model
This paper considers the problem of identi cation and estimation in panel-data sample-selection models with a binary selection rule when the latent equations contain possibly predetermined variables, lags of the dependent variables, and unobserved individual e¤ects. The selection equation contains lags of the dependent variables from both the latent and the selection equations as well as other ...
متن کاملA dynamic model for binary panel data with unobserved heterogeneity admitting a root - n consistent conditional estimator ∗
A model for binary panel data is introduced which allows for state dependence and unobserved heterogeneity beyond the effect of strictly exogenous covariates. The model is of quadratic exponential type and its structure closely resembles that of the dynamic logit model. An economic interpretation of its assumptions, based on expectation about future outcomes, is provided. The main advantage of ...
