Binary Choice Models with Discrete Regressors: Identification and Misspecification
Komarova, Tatiana - Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics … - 2012
In semiparametric binary response models, support conditions on the regressors are required to guarantee point identification of the parameter of interest. For example,one regressor is usually assumed to have continuous support conditional on the other regressors. In some instances, such...

Amiel, Yoram; Cowell, Frank A - Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics … - 1994
We re-examine some of the standard axioms used in the literature on Poverty Measurement. Using a sample of 486 students from Australia, Israel and the USA we investigate the extent to which perceptions of poverty correspond to the axioms.

Robustness properties of poverty indices
Cowell, Frank A; Victoria-Feser, Maria-Pia - Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics … - 1994
Drawing on recent work concerning the statistical robustness of inequality statistics we examine the sensitivity of … poverty indices to data contamination using the concept of the influence function. We show that poverty and inequality indices …
