Semiparametric Bayesian Inference for Dynamic Tobit Panel Data Models with Unobserved Heterogeneity Journal of Applied Econometrics 23,6 (September 2008): 699-728.

This paper develops semiparametric Bayesian methods for inference of dynamic Tobit panel data models. Our approach requires that the conditional mean dependence of the unobserved heterogeneity on the initial conditions and the strictly exogenous variables be specified. Important quantities of economic interest such as the average partial effect and average transition probabilities can be readily obtained as a by-product of the Markov chain Monte Carlo run. We apply our method to study female labor supply using a panel data set from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. Copyright (c) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Household Food Stamp Program Participation and Childhood Obesity Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 36,1 (April 2011): 1-13.

This study examines the dynamic relationship between a household’s Food Stamp Program (FSP) participation and the extent to which children in the household are overweight or obese. In contrast to previous studies employing static models, our results suggest that FSP participation significantly affects the deviation of current body mass index (BMI) from the ideal level in older male children who are currently underweight and for older female children who are already overweight. For older male children, the effect is desirable; for older females, however, our findings indicate that FSP participation has an adverse effect on their health and may contribute to being overweight or obese. |
