Random effects probit and logit specifications are common when analyzing economic experiments. Stata's fitted values from these estimations, however, appear to fit data poorly compared to their pooled counterparts. This is entirely due to Stata reporting the median predictive value, when...

This paper derives the marginal effects for a conditional mean function in the bivariate probit model. A general expression is given for a model which allows for sample selectivity and heteroscedasticity. The computations are illustrated using microeconomic data from a study on creditscoring

If certain start-up characteristics will indicate a business success, knowing such characteristics could generate more successful start-ups and more efficient start-up counseling. Our study will contribut e to this by quantifying individual success determinants of freelance start-ups. The data...

In non-linear regression models, such as the heteroskedastic probit model, coefficients cannot be interpreted as marginal effects. Marginal effects can be computed as a non-linear combination of the regression coefficients. Standard errors of the marginal effects needed for inference and...

This paper examines German business survey data to uncover the influence of political news on expectations concerning the starting date of the European Monetary Union (EMU). In this survey the participants were asked to indicate whether they expect a punctual or a delayed start of the EMU....
