The maximum likelihood estimator for the regression coefficients, β, in a panel binary response model with fixed effects can be severely biased if N is large and T is small, a consequence of the incidental parameters problem. This has led to the development of conditional maximum likelihood...

We explore the micro-foundations of fragility by discussing how to measure the exposure to fragility at the individual level. We focus on two notions that are not covered by existing aggregate, state-centric indicators of fragility. First, different individuals may experience fragility very...

This paper investigates the potentially non-linear relation between households' indebtedness and their consumption … previous studies, we find a negative effect of households' indebtedness on their consumption, even in the absence of negative …, rather than its overall sustainability, that leads households to reduce their consumption. We perform as well a threshold …
