Combining Panel Data and Macro Information for the Estimation of a Panel Probit Model

Year:    1996

Author:    Laisney, François, Lechner, Michael

Journal of Contextual Economics – Schmollers Jahrbuch, Vol. 116 (1996), Iss. 3 : pp. 339–358

Abstract

When studying particular subgroups of a population the econometrician typically has few observations, and should draw upon any additional relevant information. We illustrate, for the estimation of a participation model for lone mothers, the relative benefits derived from using the panel structure of the datain a GMM framework and from including macro information in the form of extra moments.
