Hog Insurance Adoption and Suppliers' Discrimination: A Bivariate Probit Model with Partial Observability [PDF]
This paper explores the factors that impact insurance choices. Specially designed survey questions allow one to fully observe the demand tendency by the farmers and partially observe the supply tendency by the insurance company.

MNP: R Package for Fitting the Multinomial Probit Model [PDF]
MNP is a publicly available R package that fits the Bayesian multinomial probit model via Markov chain Monte Carlo. The multinomial probit model is often used to analyze the discrete choices made by individuals recorded in survey data. Examples where the

Almost Consistent Estimation of Panel Probit Models with 'Small' Fixed Effects [PDF]
We propose four different GMM estimators that allow almost consistent estimation of the structural parameters of panel probit models with fixed effects for the case of small T and large N.

Polarización por subgrupos socioeconómicos en México: 1984-2002
Estudios Sociales, 2005 Es bien sabido que no existe consenso único en la definición de clase social (i. e. clase baja, media y alta) y que, en el intento por cuantificarlas, se han producido resultados ambiguos y poco confiables.

When Do Probit Residuals Sum to Zero? [PDF]
Probit residuals need not sum to zero in general. However, if explanatory variables are qualitative the sum can be shown to be zero for many models. Indeed this remains true for binary dependent variable models other than Probit and Logit.

State dependence in work-related training participation among British employees: A comparison of different random effects probit estimators. [PDF]
This paper compares three different estimation approaches for the random effects dynamic panel data model, under the probit assumption on the distribution of the errors. These three approaches are attributed to Heckman (1981), Wooldridge (2005) and Orme (

Misspecified heteroskedasticity in the panel probit model: A small sample comparison of GMM and SML estimators [PDF]
This paper compares generalized method of moments (GMM) and simulated maximum likelihood (SML) approaches to the estimation of the panel probit model. Both techniques circumvent multiple integration of joint density functions without the need to restrict
