1.Microeconometric Modeling William Greene Stern School of Business New York University New York NY USA Models for OrderedChoices http://people.stern.nyu.edu/Econometrics/OrderedChoices.pptx
2.Ordered Discrete Outcomes E.g.: Taste test, credit rating, course grade, preference scale Underlying random preferences: Existence of an underlying continuous preference scale Mapping to observed choices Strength of preferences is reflected in the discrete outcome Censoring and discrete measurement The nature of ordered data

20.Predictions from the Model Related to Age
21.Fit Measures There is no single “dependent variable” to explain. There is no sum of squares or other measure of “variation” to explain. Predictions of the model relate to a set of J+1 probabilities, not a single variable. How to explain fit? Based on the underlying regression Based on the likelihood function Based on prediction of the outcome variable
22.Log Likelihood Based Fit Measures

24.A Somewhat Better Fit
25.Panel Data Fixed Effects The usual incidental parameters problem Partitioning Prob(yit > j|xit) produces estimable binomial logit models. (Find a way to combine multiple estimates of the same β. Random Effects Standard application Extension to random parameters Dynamics Attrition

27.Model for Self Assessed Health British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) Waves 1-8, 1991-1998 Self assessed health on 0,1,2,3,4 scale Sociological and demographic covariates Dynamics – inertia in reporting of top scale Dynamic ordered probit model Balanced panel – analyze dynamics Unbalanced panel – examine attrition
28.Dynamic Ordered Probit Model It would not be appropriate to include hi,t-1 itself in the model as this is a label, not a measure

33.Attrition
34.Testing for Attrition Bias Three variables added to full model with unbalanced panel suggest presence of attrition effects.
35.Estimated Partial Effects by Model
36.Partial Effect for a Category These are 4 dummy variables for state in the previous period. Using first differences, the 0.234 estimated for SAHEX means transition from EXCELLENT in the previous period to GOOD in the previous period, where GOOD is the omitted category. Likewise for the other 3 previous state variables. The margin from ‘POOR’ to ‘GOOD’ was not interesting in the paper. The better margin would have been from EXCELLENT to POOR, which would have (EX,POOR) change from (1,0) to (0,1).

46.SAH vs. Objective Health Measures Favorable SAH categories seem artificially high.  60% of Australians are either overweight or obese (Dunstan et. al, 2001)  1 in 4 Australians has either diabetes or a condition of impaired glucose metabolism  Over 50% of the population has elevated cholesterol  Over 50% has at least 1 of the “deadly quartet” of health conditions (diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholestrol)  Nearly 4 out of 5 Australians have 1 or more long term health conditions (National Health Survey, Australian Bureau of Statistics 2006)  Australia ranked #1 in terms of obesity rates Similar results appear to appear for other countries
