The properties of classical panel data estimators including fixed effect, first-differences, random effects, and generalized method of moments-instrumental variables estimators in both static as well as dynamic panel data models are investigated under sample selection. The correlation of the...

This paper develops a sample selection model for fractional response variables, i.e., variables taking values in the [0, 1]-interval. It provides an extension of the Papke and Wooldridge (1996) fractional probit model to the case of non-random sample selectivity. The model differs from the...

The celebrated Heckman selection model yields a selection correction function (control function) proportional to the inverse Mills ratio, which is monotone. This paper studies a sample selection model which does not impose parametric distributional assumptions on the latent error terms, while...

A firm that faces insufficient supply of labor can either increase the wage offer to attract more applicants, or reduce the hiring standard to enlarge the pool of potential employees, or do both. This simultaneous adjustment of wages and hiring standards in response to changes in market...

A measurement error model is a regression model with (substantial) measurement errors in the variables. Disregarding these measurement errors in estimating the regression parameters results in asymptotically biased estimators. Several methods have been proposed to eliminate, or at least to...

In this paper, we propose a new approach to estimating sample selection models that combines Generalized Tukey Lambda (GTL) distributions with copulas. The GTL distribution is a versatile univariate distribution that permits a wide range of skewness and thick- or thin-tailed behavior in the data...
