Dynamic Cost-offsets of Prescription Drug Expenditures: Panel Data Analysis Using a Copula-based Hurdle Model
Deb, Partha; Trivedi, Pravin K.; Zimmer, David M. - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2009
This paper presents a new multivariate copula-based modeling approach for analyzing cost-offsets between drug and nondrug expenditures. Estimates are based on panel data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) with quarterly measures of medical expenditures. The approach allows for...

Alternative Measures of the Explanatory Power of Multivariate Probit Models with Continuous or Ordinal Responses
Spieß, Martin; Tutz, Gerhard - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2002
In this paper R2-type measures of the explanatory power of multivariate linear and categorical probit models proposed in the literature are reviewed and their deficiencies are discussed. It is argued that a measure of the explanatory power should take into account the components which are...

Network Externalities and Technology Adoption: Lessons from Electronic Payments
Gowrisankaran, Gautam; Stavins, Joanna - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2002
We seek to analyze the extent and sources of network externalities for the automated clearinghouse (ACH) electronic payments system using a quarterly panel data set on individual bank adoption and usage of ACH. We provide three methods to identify network externalities using this panel data. The...

GEE Estimation of a Two-Equation Panel Data Model: An Analysis of Wage Dynamics and the Incidence of Profit-Sharing in West Germany
Pannenberg, Markus; Spieß, Martin - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2007
We propose a generalized estimating equations approach to the analysis of the mean and the covariance structure of a bivariate time series process of panel data with mixed continuous and discrete dependent variables. The approach is used to jointly analyze wage dynamics and the incidence of...

From No Pay to Low Pay and Back Again?: A Multi-State Model of Low Pay Dynamics
Uhlendorff, Arne - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2006
This study analyzes the mobility between three labor market states: working in low paid jobs, working in higher paid jobs and not working. Using German panel data I estimate dynamic multinomial logit panel data models with random effects taking the initial conditions problem and potential...

Dynamic Models of R&D, Innovation and Productivity: Panel Data Evidence for Dutch and French Manufacturing
MAIRESSE, Jacques; Mohnen, Pierre; Raymond, Wladimir; … - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2013
This paper introduces dynamics in the R&D to innovation and innovation to productivity relationships, which have mostly been estimated on cross-sectional data. It considers four nonlinear dynamic simultaneous equations models that include individual effects and idiosyncratic errors correlated...
