Résumé : |
One of the main objectives of econometrics is the use of statistical and mathematical techniques for the measurement of economic relations and prediction of the economic behaviour of the agents.
Often the phénomenon observed is a continuous one and the econometric theory provides us with a wide range of techniques for estimating this kind of model.
Sometimes, however, one is faced with the problem of the dependent variable being either qualitative or limited in its range.
When the observations on the dependent variable are either "O" or "1" we say that we have a qualitative response data and the model consists of finding the probability that an economic agent with a given set of characteristics will make one choice rather than another.
Two models are used for this kind of qualitative choice model.
The Logit model and the Probit model.
The first section of this dissertation consists mainly of surveying the most used techniques of estimations which I classified in 2 categories: the maximum likelihood procedures and the bias selection methods; I also included the least absolute deviation estimator for censored models for testing purposes.
The remaining section, however will be entirely devoted to surveying the kind of tests which are used to test the validity of the limited dependent variable model. |
