On the treatment effects of a binary choice outcome model

Abstract: This paper discusses an econometric model to estimate treatment effects for binary choice outcomes. We use a copula to model the dependence of unobservable terms. The copula-based approach allows for various dependence structures. A simulation study shows the misspecification of the dependence structures results in biased estimation of the treatment effects.
