Case‐Mix Adjustment of Multidimensional Patient‐Reported Outcomes to Assess Hospital Performance
Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Multidimensional patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used to compare the performance of health care providers. Meaningful comparisons require the data to be adjusted for differences in case‐mix. The common approach in the literature is to aggregate PROM data into univariate summary scores prior to case‐mix adjustment. In

- LEAST SQUARES ESTIMATES SYMETRICALLY ADJUSTED WITH NO LOSS OF INFORMATION IN THE TRUNCATED TOBIT MODEL [PDF]
The objective of this paper is to improve the estimator of Powell (1986) in the truncated Tobit model. The Powell estimator is the least squares alternative to the maximum likelihood estimator for the Tobit model. Only symmetry of the distribution of the

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of trade liberalisation on income inequality across 24 Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries from 2000 to 2020. Using IV‐Tobit and 2SLS models, we consistently find that greater trade openness significantly exacerbates inequality in the region. Critically, we document an inverted U‐shaped relationship between trade

Alternative specification tests for Tobit and related models [PDF]
Economics Letters, 1986 Abstract Recently Small and Hsiao (1985) proposed a specification test for the multinomial logit model as an alternative for the Hausman specification test. We show that Small and Hsiao's test procedure can also be applied to Tobit and related models.

Estimation of the SUR Tobit Model via the MCECM Algorithm
, 2011 A novel approach is proposed to estimate the seemingly unrelated regressions model in which the dependent variables might be censored. Our method via the Monte Carlo version of the EM algorithm can be used to retrieve the latent values which greatly ...

Identifying Peer Effects in Networks with Unobserved Effort and Isolated Students
Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Peer influence on effort devoted to some activity is often studied when effort is unobserved, and the researcher instead observes an outcome that combines effort with other shocks. For instance, in education, achievement measures such as GPA reflect both effort and idiosyncratic GPA shocks.
