Abstract

The paper first provides a short review of the most common microeconometric models including logit, probit, discrete choice, duration models, models for count data and Tobit-type models. In the second part we consider the situation that the micro data have undergone some anonymization procedure which has become an important issue since otherwise confidentiality would not be guaranteed. We shortly describe the most important approaches for data protection which also can be seen as creating errors of measurement by purpose. We also consider the possibility of correcting the estimation procedure while taking into account the anonymization procedure. We illustrate this for the case of binary data which are anonymized by ‘post-randomization’ and which are used in a probit model. We show the effect of ‘naive’ estimation, i. e. when disregarding the anonymization procedure. We also show that a ‘corrected’ estimate is available which is satisfactory in statistical terms. This is also true if parameters of the anonymization procedure have to be estimated, too.
