Robustness of binary choice models to conditional heteroscedasticity

Economics Letters, 2017, vol. 150, issue C, 130-134

Abstract: We show that when the true data generating process of a large class of binary choice models contains conditional heteroscedasticity, predictions based on the misspecified MLE in which conditional heteroscedasticity is ignored, are unaffected by the misspecification.
