Mean wage of a male agr. worker? E(Y D = ) = α + β 5 6

5 Bnary Choce Model Examples Bnary Choce Model Censored Data: Lmted dependent varable: Housng expendture some may not have purchased: so zero Two questons () Can we stll use OLS to estmate such outcomes? () If not, how do we model such outcomes? Bnary Choce () Lnear Probablty Model (LPM) () Logt/ Probt Model Bnary Choce Model Censored/ Lmted Dependent Varable Regresson Model Lnear Probablty Model We focus on sngle equaton bnary outcomes: y { 0,} A fundamental dfference between a quanttatve response model and a qualtatve response model: The latter s a probablty model. () Tobt Model 8 In general: Lnear Probablty Model Prob(event j occurs) = P(Y = j) = f (relevant varables; parameters) = f(x, β) where x = [ x,..., x ] k are the varables and β s a vector of parameters. Gven Lnear Probablty Model y { 0,} P(y = x ) = P = f(x, β); P(y = 0x ) = P = f(x, β); y follows Bernoull probablty dstrbuton 9 5

6 Lnear Probablty Model How do we specfy f(x,β)? An obvous choce s the famlar least squares procedure: f(x, β) = x β y = x β + u Ths leads to the lnear probablty model (LPM). Lnear Probablty Model Assumng E(u) = 0, t follows that E(y x ) = 0 P(y = 0) + P(y = ) E(y x ) = P(y = x ) = xβ Condtonal expectaton = condtonal probablty The regresson eqn descrbes the probablty that y = gven nformaton on x 3 Lnear Probablty Model y, P y = β +β X β +β X k β The case of a sngle explanatory varable: 0 The probablty of the event occurrng, p, s assumed to be a lnear functon of the varable X.
