This work develops a simple methodology to make some contribution to current thinking about household participation in international financial markets. I combine standard microeconometrics with a latent model (multivariate statistics). This type of model is usually applied in the social...

The sample estimates are uniformly below those of the Financial Accounts, even after harmonising all the definitions and the evaluation criteria. Such a problem can stem from the interviewee's unwillingness to disclose the actual value of the asset (under-reporting). The paper presents a method...

The purpose of this paper was to apply the econometric models with qualitative variables in order to analyze two non academic behaviors at the level of the Romanian higher education system: cheating on the exams by copying or by direct or intermediary intervention at the professor

A statistical problem that arises in several fields is that of estimating the features of an unknown distribution, which may be conditioned on covariates, using a sample of binomial observations on whether draws from this distribution exceed threshold levels set by experimental design....

Multi-attribute stated preference data, derived through choice experiments, is used to investigate the consequence of a finite number of preference groups in a sample of Yorkshire Water residential customers on the conditional distributions of willingness to pay in the sample. The research...

Researchers acknowledge several reasons for possible non-representativeness in surveys conducted on samples drawn from large consumer panels. We model the selection process for one major consumer panel, maintained by Knowledge Networks, Inc., starting with over 525,000 random-digit-dialed...

Researchers using survey data must always deal with the problem of nonignorable non-response among the intended sample for a survey. Often, nothing more is known about a non-respondent individual or household other than the geographic location of their primary residence. However, this...

We propose a new estimation technique to deal with missing response variables in the context of a nested multinomial logit model. Survey data often have a significant number of incomplete or missing responses. If such data are systematically missing (i.e., not missing at random) and if such...

Previous studies of dual agency, where one agent serves both buyer and seller in a transaction, use hedonic models. Repeat-sale methods can test for the price effect of accepting dual agency. Dual agency does not show convincing effects on expected gain, which would occur if there was a...
