This paper presents a semi-nonparametric estimator for a series of generalized models that nest the Ordered Probit model and thereby relax the distributional assumptions in that model. It describes a new Stata command for the estimation of such models and presents an illustration of the approach.

Background: The PROBIT methodology was presented in the 1995 World Health Organization Technical Report on Anthropometry as an alternative to the standard prevalence based method of measuring malnutrition in children. Theoretically the PROBIT method will always give a smaller standard error than the standard prevalence method in measuring malnutrition. A recent article by Dale et al. assessed t...

This paper examines episodes of banking sector distress for a large sample of developed and developing countries, highlighting the experience of Japan. By a host of criteria, Japan appeared to be in a stronger position than most countries at the onset of banking problems— low inflation, appreciating currency, balanced government budget, and large external surpluses. However, Japan followed a cl...

The present study investigates the impact of financial self-efficacy on personal finance behavior. To this end, the data collected from the questionnaire have been employed. Once the validity and reliability of the questionnaire are confirmed, the relation between financial self-efficacy and the likelihood of holding a specific financial product is studied using the multivariate Probit model. P...

In this paper, the authors analyze product attributes and consumer characteristics in an international service selection decision. Previous work has focused on main effects without exploring the significance of interaction or individual heterogeneity effects. Using conjoint and ordered probit analyses, we find that including interaction and respondent specific dummy variables alters the impacts...

Using newly available data at the firm level, this study provides convincing evidence of the importance of financial constraints in explaining the timing of innovations in the German services sector. Based on a dynamic model of firms‘ optimal R&D behavior under financial constraints, we estimate various versions of an econometric specification of the model with dichotomous innovation data by us...
