Formulation and Statistical Analysis of the Mixed, Continuous/Discrete Dependent Variable Model in Classical Production Theory
经典生产理论中连续与离散混合因变量模型的构建与统计分析
Data sets which contain jointly endogenous discrete and continuous variables often occur in practice. This paper presents a model of the economic and stochastic processes generating such data as well as methods of estimation. A maximum likelihood estimator is examined and found to exhibit the usual optimality but it is computationally burdensome. A simpler estimator, the QREG, which is a simple weighted average of separate probit (or logit) and regression estimates is…
