A Censored Random Coefficients Model For Pooled Survey Data With Application To The Estimation Of Power Outage Costs Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Klaus Moeltner

registered author(s):
In many surveys, multiple observations on the dependent variable are collected from a given respondent. The resulting pooled data set is likely to be censored and to exhibit cross-sectional heterogeneity. We propose a model that addresses both issues by allowing regression coefficients to vary randomly across respondents and by using the GewekeHajivassiliou-Keane simulator and Halton sequences to estimate highorder probabilities. We show how this framework can be usefully applied to the estimation of power outage costs to firms using data from a recent survey conducted by a U.S. utility. Our results strongly reject the hypotheses of parameter constancy and cross-sectional homogeneity. © 2001 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technolog
