论文摘要
彼得·施密特（Peter Schmidt）对《计量经济学》的众多贡献中有两个是引入一个同时的logit模型，以进行双变量二进制结果，并研究使用短面板的动态线性固定效应面板数据模型的估计。在本文中，我们研究了Schmidt和Strauss（1975）中引入的双变量模型的动态面板数据版本，该模型允许与Ahn和Schmidt（1995）中的滞后依赖变量和固定效应。我们将有条件的可能性方法与一种矩方法方法相结合，以获得最终模型的估计策略。我们将此估计策略应用于就业内部关系的简单模型。我们的主要结论是，即使在允许未观察到的家庭特定异质性之后，夫妻的种族组成也有很大的不同。
Two of Peter Schmidt's many contributions to econometrics have been to introduce a simultaneous logit model for bivariate binary outcomes and to study estimation of dynamic linear fixed effects panel data models using short panels. In this paper, we study a dynamic panel data version of the bivariate model introduced in Schmidt and Strauss (1975) that allows for lagged dependent variables and fixed effects as in Ahn and Schmidt (1995). We combine a conditional likelihood approach with a method of moments approach to obtain an estimation strategy for the resulting model. We apply this estimation strategy to a simple model for the intra-household relationship in employment. Our main conclusion is that the within-household dependence in employment differs significantly by the ethnicity composition of the couple even after one allows for unobserved household specific heterogeneity.
