Estimating SUR Tobit Model while errors are gaussian scale mixtures: with an application to high frequency financial data [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper examines multivariate Tobit system with Scale mixture disturbances. Three estimation methods, namely Maximum Simulated Likelihood, Expectation Maximization Algorithm and Bayesian MCMC simulators, are proposed and compared via generated data ...

Tobit models for count time series

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Statistics
AbstractSeveral models for count time series have been developed during the last decades, often inspired by traditional autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models for real‐valued time series, including integer‐valued ARMA (INARMA) and integer‐valued generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (INGARCH) models.

Investment Reluctance: Irreversibility or Imperfect Capital Markets? Evidence from German Farm Panel Data [PDF]

open access: yes
Investment behavior at the firm level is characterized by lumpy adjustments and frequent periods of inactivity. Low investment rates are particularly puzzling in transition economies where an urgent need of modernization exists. The literature offers two

Testing identifying assumptions in Tobit Models

open access: yes
We develop sharp, testable implications for the identifying assumptions of Tobit and IV-Tobit models: linear index, (joint) normality of errors, treatment (instrument) exogeneity, and relevance. The new sharp testable equalities can detect all possible observable violations of the identifying conditions.

Comparing technical efficiency of organic and conventional coffee farms in Nepal using data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach [PDF]

open access: yes
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach used to estimate technical efficiency and followed by regressing the technical efficiency scores to farm specific characters under tobit regression model. Primary data was collected from random samples of 240 (120
