Log-Linear Probability Models: An Application to the Analysis of Timing of First Birth Applied Economics 17,3 (June 1985): 477-489. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00036848500000052 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Chapman & Hall Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; Childbearing; Endogeneity; First Birth; Household Structure; Parental Influences; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Nerlove and Press (1973, 1976) developed a procedure whereby jointly endogenous qualitative variables can be analyzed as functions of continuous or categorical explanatory factors. This method is used to develop the econometric model for the special case of two trichotomous jointly dependent variables. These variables are, in turn, applied to the determinants of age at initiation of childbearing, using data from the NLS Young Women cohort for the period 1968-1978. The results show that parental education, race, and whether the young woman was raised in an intact family emerge as variables with large aggregate effects. Certain factors, such as number of siblings and plans for age 35, are seen to have direct and indirect influences of opposite signs. This analysis demonstrates the potential usefulness of log-linear probability models. |

Determinants of the Female Occupational Distribution: A Log-Linear Probability Analysis Review of Economics and Statistics 67,3 (August 1985): 395-404. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1925967 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Harvard University Press Keyword(s): Occupations, Female; Occupations, Male; Skills; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study examines the determinants of two aspects of occupations which have been found to have important influences on female wages: the skill level associated with the occupation and the sex composition of the occupation (typically female versus male or integrated). Using a log-linear probability technique and data from the NLS Young Women cohort, hypotheses drawn from the economic and sociological literature are tested. |
