380 12/20/12

In Example 11.8, we carry out the Hausman test for fixed vs. random effects in the model in Example 11.6. If the test is carried out exactly as prescribed in the text, that is, capture the two estimates, b_FE and b_RE, and the two covariance matrices, then compute the ordinary inverse of V_FE-V_RE and, finally, compute the quadratic form shown, then the resulting Hausman statistic will be roughly 2,636 as reported. However, for that example, the difference matrix is actually not positive definite. It has two negative roots. Thus, it is only by the luck of the draw that the computed H is positive. In fact, the test cannot be carried out this way. Popular software including Stata and NLOGIT/LIMDEP will catch this, and not actually carry out this test. The near equivalent test due to Wu is carried out by adding the group means of the time varying variables to the random effects model, then using a Wald test to test the hypothesis that the coefficients on the group means are jointly zero. The answer one gets using this approach will depend on how one computes the variance components. This test is carried out in Example 11.9 on page 381. (Professor Nor Azam Abdul Razak, Universiti Utara Malaysia)

568,569 11/9/13

In Table 14.6, in column (3), the coefficient on Female should be negative, i.e., -0.00696. It should also be noted that the standard errors reported in column (1) are simply carried over from column (2). It is not actually possible to compute these because as noted in the text, in the matrix of pseudo-regressors, the first and last columns are perfectly collinear. The 'standard errors' shown for the constant and q are infinite. The finite values shown are the result of rounding error using a digital computer. In order to maintain consistency of Table 14.6 and the statement of the model, in the definition of m(x) in the last line of page 568, the two minus signs should be plus signs, and in the definition of E[y|x], the coefficients in exp(...) should be negative. Finally, in the labels column of Table 14.6, the last label should be q, not P. (Tom Doan, Estima)

In the last line of Table 15.6, 307.873 should be 307.883 and 568.446 should be 586.446. (Umit Senesen, Istanbul Technical University)

637 8/24/15

The preceding correction should be carried into the third paragraph where 568.446 should be 586.446 and 200.368 should be 164.368. (Umit Senesen, Istanbul Technical University)

646-649 6/29/11

Example 15.16. The results in the example are correct as they stand, however, they are based on using the log of Koop and Tobias's log wage variable as the dependent variable. The LHS variable should not have been logged a second time. The full set of results in the application will change if the original variable is used instead. (Tom Doan, Estima, Inc.)

650 8/24/15

Fourth line below first two equations, "bi's" should be "b_i's." (Umit Senesen, Istanbul Technical University)

The reference to Manski and McFadden (1981) at the end of Section 17.1 is missing from the references. It should be Manski, C. and D. McFadden, Structural Analysis of Discrete Data and Econometric Applications, Cambridge, MIT Press, 1981. Also, the Hensher and Greene (2010) reference in the footnote should be Greene and Hensher (2010) and the reference is to Greene, W. and D. Hensher, Modeling Ordered Choices, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2010. (Max Hayden Chiz.)

685 12/7/11

695 and 696 1/30/13

In Table 17.1: In the slope column for the logistic model, 0.450 should be 0.449; in the columns for the Complementary log log model, the constant term, 10.631, should be 10.031, the coefficient on GPA should be 2.294 and the slope for PSI should be 0.354. At the bottom of the page (0,449,0.181) should be (0.449,0.197) and (0.464,0.188) should be (0.468,0.188). In Table 17.2, in (numbers) column 3, 0.456 should be 0.449, 0.181 should 0.197. In the next column, 2.521 should 2.284. In the Probit results, 0.464 should be 0.468 and 2.727 should be 2.493. (Author and Mehmet Toker, Unistat Inc.)

712 3/28/12

Several values in Table 17.6 are incorrect, as follows:
In row Constant: -1.13089 should be -1.13102
In row Income, 6 values should be 0.00027, 0.00014, 18.67, 0.00025, 0.00013, 19.4
In row Current Address, 6 values should be 0.00095, 0.00025, 3.86, 0.00094, 0.00024, 3.92
In row Self Employed, -0.47650 should be -0.47649, 0.05851 should be 0.05852, -25.66 should be -25.65

713 10/27/13

In footnote 25, the Davidson and MacKinnon (1984) paper referenced there was omitted from the bibliography (and the updated bibliography noted earlier in this errata). The missing paper is Russell Davidson and James G. MacKinnon, "Model specification tests based on artificial linear regressions," International Economic Review, 25, 1984, pp. 485-502. (Mikolaj Czajkowski , University of Warsaw)

715 8/24/15

Second to last line in first paragraph, add "Education" before "and." (Umit Senesen, Istanbul Technical University)

715 4/21/11

Above Table 17.7, where the text states "Var[epsilon_i]=exp(...), it should state that the variance is the square of the exponent, as shown at the top of page 714. The results in the table are consistent with this formulation.

The partial effects in Table 17.7 appear to be incorrect. Using the average partial effects, the results in column 4 of the table should be as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Partial Standard Variable Effect Error |t| 95% Confidence Interval --------------------------------------------------------------------- AGE -.00779 .00263 2.96 -.01295 -.00263 INCOME .01709 .01566 1.09 -.01361 .04779 EDUC .03663 .00825 4.44 .02046 .05281 * KIDS -.16153 .04401 3.67 -.24779 -.07526 --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Dummy variable. Effect computed as first difference.
The results in the 6th column would be as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Partial Standard Variable Effect Error |t| 95% Confidence Interval --------------------------------------------------------------------- AGE -.00858 .00254 3.37 -.01356 -.00359 INCOME .06884 .02356 2.92 .02266 .11501 EDUC .02961 .00859 3.45 .01276 .04645 * KIDS -.16055 .04341 3.70 -.24563 -.07546 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

875 10/12/12

The result in the first two equations on page 875 is correct as stated, as is the prelude on page 874. Footnote 27 is also correct, but confusing. On page 874, by theorem 19.5, l_i = f(-g'w_i/s_u)/[1-F(-g'w_i/s_u)] = f(g'w_i/s_u)/F(g'w_i/s_u) using the symmetry of the normal distribution. This second expression is f(-a_i)/F(-a_i). Let q_i = -a_i so that l_i = f(q_i)/F(q_i). The derivative is dE/dx_ik = b_k + b_l dl_i/dq_i dq_i/dx_ik. The last term is g_k/s_u. dl_i/dq_i = -q_il_i - l_i². This equals -(l_i² + q_il_i) = -(l_i² - a_il_i). Combining terms, dE/dx_ik = b_k - b_l(g_k/s_u)(l_i² - a_il_i) which is the result at the top of page 875. Footnote 27 is also correct, but confusing - the root problem is the proliferating minus signs. There is a typo in footnote 27; s_M should be s_u. Note, as well, in (19-22), the two occurrences of F should not be bold. (Author and Carol Troy, Feng-Chia University, Taiwan)

878 11/8/13

At the end of the equation at the top of the page, the square bracketed term should be ln[1-F(w_i'g)] (Tom Doan, Estima)

879 5/12/11

In Table 19.7, In column 5, 1.684 should be 1.680, 0.0964 should be 0.0963, 0.0837 should be 0.0836. In column 6, 0.449 should not be in parentheses - the parentheses should be around 0.318 in column 7. In the paragraph below the table, 0.064 should be 0.060 and -0.293 should be -0.279. It should be noted that slightly different answers are obtained depending on whether one computes the partial effects at the means of the data or computes the partial effects at the individual observations, then averages the partial effects. The values given here are based on the latter. (William Greene, NYU and Randy Campbell, Mississippi State University.)

If we multiply it with dt, then the hazard probability is h(t)dt. Although both risk and probability cannot be less than 0, the risk can be greater than 1. (The word hazard generally implies the existence of a risk, and comes from the Arabic word "al zhar," meaning a die (page 72 in Tasiran. A. C. (1995) "Fertility Dynamics, Spacing and Timing of Births in Sweden and the United States", Contributions to Economic Analysis, 229, North-Holland.)" (Ali Tasiran, Birkbeck College)
