Quantifying the Social Costs of Nuclear Energy : Perceived Risk of Accident at Nuclear Power Plant
Huhtala, Anni; Remes, Piia - 2016

A Dynamic Hurdle Model for Zero-Inflated Count Data : With an Application to Health Care Utilization
Baetschmann, Gregori; Winkelmann, Rainer - 2014
Excess zeros are encountered in many empirical count data applications. We provide a new explanation of extra zeros, related to the underlying stochastic process that generates events. The process has two rates, a lower rate until the first event, and a higher one thereafter. We derive the...
