Qualitative Response Models: A Survey
TLDR
The most important developments in econometrics in the past ten years have occurred in the area of qualitative response (QR) models as discussed by the authors, and there are two factors which explain the recent upsurge of QR models in economic applications: 1) Economists deal with many variables, thus necessitating the need to formulate more complex models involving more than one discrete variable and more than two responses, as well as using more independent variables.Abstract:
One of the most important developments in econometrics in the past ten years has occurred in the area of qualitative response (QR) models. There are two factors which explain the recent upsurge of QR models in economic applications: 1) Economists deal with many variables, thus necessitating the need to formulate more complex models involving more than one discrete variable and more than two responses, as well as using more independent variables. The estimation of such complex QR models has only recently been made possible by the development of advanced computer technology. 2) An increasingly large number of sample surveys have been recently conducted and their results made readily available on magnetic tapes. This paper will present the basic facts about QR models. It starts with the discussion of the simplest model - the model for a univariate dichotomous dependent variable, and then moves on to multi-response models. The following three problems are discussed: 1) how to specify a model which is consistent with economic theory and which is at the same time statistically manageable; 2) how to estimate and test hypotheses on the parameters of a model; and 3) what criteria to use for choosing among competing models.read more

Welfare Evaluations in Contingent Valuation Experiments with Discrete Responses
TL;DR: In this article, two distinct types of welfare measures are introduced and then estimated from Bishop and Heberlein's data, based on the hypothesis of utility maximization, and measures of compensating and equivalent surplus are derived from the fitted models.

Tobit models: A survey
TL;DR: Tobin's model is also known as censored or truncated regression models as discussed by the authors, where the observations outside a specified range are totally lost and censored if one can at least observe the exogenous variables, and truncation occurs if a patient is still alive at the last observation date or if he or she cannot be located.

The multinational corporation's degree of control over foreign subsidiaries : an empirical test of a transaction cost explanation
Hubert Gatignon,Erin Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine empirically the theory's predictions in the context of the multinational corporation (MNC), which attempts to control the operations of foreign "subsidiaries" (business units) that it owns in whole or in part.
