The focus of this Element is on the idea that choice is hierarchical so that there exists an order of acquisition of durable goods and assets as real incomes increase. Two main approaches to deriving such an order are presented, the so-called Paroush approach and Item Response Theory. An...

Cognitive ability measures are often taken as explanatory variables in regression analysis, e.g., as a factor affecting a market outcome such as an individual's wage, or a decision such as an individual's education acquisition. Cognitive ability is a latent construct; its true value is...

We study the relationship between child work and cognitive development in four Low and Middle Income Countries. We address a key weakness in the literature by including children's full time-use vector in the analysis, which leads to different findings from previous studies which do not...

This focuses on the two types of response probability that are unique to polytomous models … and their associated response functions, which are modeled differently by the different types of IRT model. It describes …

As item response theory (IRT) has developed and is widely applied, investigating the fit of a parametric model becomes … an important part of the measurement process when implementing IRT. The usefulness and successes of IRT applications rely … sufficient evidence before any model application. There is a lack of promising solutions on the detection of model misfit in IRT …
