Semiparametric binary random effects models: Estimating two types of drinking behavior

Yingying Dong

Economics Letters, 2011, vol. 112, issue 1, 79-81

Abstract: I propose a new estimator for cross-section semiparametric regressions containing unobserved binary random effects and apply it to alcohol consumption. The random effects (health consciousness) explain a significant proportion of otherwise unexplained variation in alcohol consumption. Education positively correlates with health consciousness.
