Give missings a chance : combined stochastic and rule-based approach to improve regression models with mismeasured monotonic covariates without side information

Dlugosz, Stephan - 2011

Register data are known for their large sample size and good data quality. The measurement accuracy of variables highly depends on their high importance for administrative processes. The education variable in the IAB employment sub-sample is an example for information that is gathered without a...

Measurement errors arising when using distances in microeconometric modelling and the individuals' position is geo-masked for confidentiality

Arbia, Giuseppa; Espa, Giuseppe; Giuliani, Diego - In: Econometrics : open access journal 3 (2015) 4, pp. 709-718

In many microeconometric models we use distances. For instance, in modelling the individual behavior in labor economics or in health studies, the distance from a relevant point of interest (such as a hospital or a workplace) is often used as a predictor in a regression framework. However, in...

Standard and shuffled Halton sequences in a mixed logit model

Staus, Alexander - 2008

. Simulation methods have been developed to approximate a solution for these integrals. This paper describes the Standard Halton … sequence and a modification of it, the Shuffled Halton sequence. Both are simulation methods which can reduce computational … effort compared to a random sequence. We compare the simulation methods in their coverage of the multi-dimensional area and …
