Specification and Estimation of Rating Scale Models - With an Application to the Determinants of Life Satisfaction

Rating variables indicate the extent to which a quality is present, or absent, in a unit of observation. In this paper, we discuss a class of non-linear regression models for rating dependent variables and their estimation by parametric and semi-parametric methods. An application to life satisfaction illustrates the main differences between the Rating Scale Model and ordinary least squares
