Migration Correlation: Definition and Efficient Estimation

Gagliardini, Patrick; Gourieroux, Christian - Institut für Schweizerisches Bankwesen <Zürich> - 2004

The aim of this paper is to explain why cross-sectional estimated migration correlations displayed in the academic and … a model with stochastic migration in which the parameters of interest, that are migration correlations, are precisely … defined. The impossibility of estimating consistently the migration correlations from cross-sectional data only is emphasized …

How to Adjust for Nonignorable Nonresponse: Calibration, Heckit or FIML?

Johansson, Fredrik - 2007

When a survey response mechanism depends on the variable of interest measured within the same survey and observed for only part of the sample, the situation is one of nonignorable nonresponse. Ignoring the nonresponse is likely to generate significant bias in the estimates. To solve this, one...

Explaining the size and nature of response in a survey on health status and economic standard

Johansson, Fredrik; Klevmarken, Anders - 2006

Using rich register data to analyze response behavior in a survey on health and economic standard, a model to explain contact and participation probabilities is estimated. A main result is that both probabilities are lower among respondents out of the labor market, who are immigrants and on...

Modeling the Differences in Counted Outcomes using Bivariate Copula Models: with Application to Mismeasured Counts

Zimmer, David M.; Trivedi, Pravin K.; Li, Tong; … - 2004

This paper makes three contributions. First, it uses copula functions to obtain a flexible bivariate parametric model for nonnegative integer-valued data (counts). Second, it recovers the distribution of the difference in the two counts from a specifed bivariate count distribution. Third, the...

An Empirical Investigation of Biased Survey Data and an Attempted Cure

Prieger, James E. - 2004

In this paper I investigate response bias in survey data on annual driving mileage and evaluate the performance of a proposed remedy, Orbit. Individuals systematically exaggerate their deviation from the sample average, and using the self-reported data leads to misleading estimates of the income...

Well-posedness of measurement error models for self-reported data

An, Yonghong; Hu, Yingyao - 2009

It is widely admitted that the inverse problem of estimating the distribution of a latent variable X* from an observed sample of X, a contaminated measurement of X*, is ill-posed. This paper shows that measurement error models for self-reporting data are well-posed, assuming the probability of...
