ndvtest (version 1.0-0)

turnout: Turnout

Description

these three models are replication in R of stata's code available on the web site of the American Economic Association. The estimation is complicated by the fact that some linear constraints are imposed. The estimation was performed using the maxLik package. As the Hessian is near singular, the bread method for maxLik which use the vcov method returns an error. Therefore, we use a new maxLik2 class and write specific llcont, estfun and bread methods for this class.

Format

a list of three fitted models:

• group: the group-rule-utilitarian model,

• intens: the intensity model,

• sur: the reduced form SUR model.
