Multilevel multiprocess modeling with gsem

Abstract: Multilevel multiprocess models are simultaneous equation systems that include multilevel hazard equations with correlated random effects. Demog- raphers routinely use these models to adjust estimates for endogeneity and sample selection. In this article, I demonstrate how multilevel multiprocess models can be fit with the gsem command. I distinguish between two classes of multilevel multiprocess models: nonrecursive systems of hazard equations without observed endogenous variables and recursive systems that include a hazard equation with ob- served endogenous qualitative variables. I illustrate the estimation of both classes of models using sample datasets shipped with the statistical software aML. I pay special attention to identifying structural coefficients in nonrecursive simultaneous systems.
