Having estimated 84 nested and non-nested count data models, we found that the hurdle models are … preferred for taking into account the presence of excess zeros. Hurdle models offer greater flexibility in modeling zero …

econometric analysis relies on multinomial discrete choices models and the use of controls, e.g., for pre-university grades in …

Each model class uses a … mixture of hurdle-Poisson models that uses two latent classes performs significantly better than the ?pure? hurdle …-Poisson models based on a single distance measure, emphasizing the usefulness of our approach. By using the mixture hurdle …

discrete choice models with panel data, we find evidence for causal peer effects. However, the impact of one previously …
