An Analysis of Speaking Fluency of Immigrants Using Ordered Response Models With Classification Errors
利用含分类错误的有序响应模型分析移民口语熟练度
We develop parametric models that incorporate misclassification error in an ordered response model and compare them with a semiparametric model that nests the parametric models. We apply these estimators to the analysis of English-speaking fluency of immigrants in the United Kingdom, focusing on Lazear's theory that due to learning or self-selection, there is a negative relation between speaking fluency and the ethnic minority concentration in the region.
