This paper derives the marginal effects for a conditional mean function in the bivariate probit model. A general expression is given for a model which allows for sample selectivity and heteroscedasticity. The computations are illustrated using microeconomic data from a study on creditscoring

Bertschek and Lechner (1998) propose several variants of a GMM estimator based on the period specific regression functions for the panel probit model. The analysis is motivated by the complexity of maximum likelihood estimation and the possibly excessive amount of time involved in maximum...

Obesity is a major risk factor for several diseases including diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Increasing rates of obesity internationally are set to cost health systems increasing resources. In the US a conservative estimate puts resources already spent on obesity at $120 billion annually....
