Efficient estimation of probit models with correlated errors

Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation of probit models with correlated errors typically requires high-dimensional truncated integration. Prominent examples of such models are multinomial probit models and binomial panel probit models with serially correlated errors. In this paper we propose to use a generic procedure known as Efficient Importance Sampling (EIS) for the evaluation of likelihood functions for probit models with correlated errors. Our proposed EIS algorithm covers…
