Semiparametric Qualitative Response Model Estimation with Unknown Heteroskedasticity or Instrumental Variables
Lewbel, Arthur - Department of Economics, Boston College - 1999
This paper provides estimators of discrete choice models, including binary, ordered, and multinomial response (choice) models. The estimators closely resemble ordinary and two stage least squares. The distribution of the model's latent variable error is unknown and may be related to the...

Endogenous Selection Or Treatment Model Estimation
Lewbel, Arthur - Department of Economics, Boston College - 2000
In a sample selection or treatment effects model, common unobservables may affect both the outcome and the probability of selection in unknown ways. This paper shows that the distribution function of potential outcomes, conditional on covariates, can be identified given an observed variable V...

Effects of age at school entry (ASE) on the development of non-cognitive skills: Evidence from psychometric data
Mühlenweg, Andrea M.; Blomeyer, Dorothea; Laucht, Manfred - 2011
We identify effects of age at school entry (ASE) on the development of child temperament. Our analysis is based on psychometric measures from a longitudinal cohort study of children in the Rhine-Neckar region in central Germany. In children with a higher ASE due to a birthday late in the year,...
