miscTools - Miscellaneous Tools and Utilities

Miscellaneous small tools and utilities. Many of them facilitate the work with matrices, e.g. inserting rows or columns, creating symmetric matrices, or checking for semidefiniteness. Other tools facilitate the work with regression models, e.g. extracting the standard errors, obtaining the number of (estimated) parameters, or calculating R-squared values.

sampleSelection - Sample Selection Models

Two-step and maximum likelihood estimation of Heckman-type sample selection models: standard sample selection models (Tobit-2), endogenous switching regression models (Tobit-5), sample selection models with binary dependent outcome variable, interval regression with sample selection (only ML estimation), and endogenous treatment effects models. These methods are described in the three vignettes that are included in this package and in econometric textbooks such as Greene (2011, Econometric Analysis, 7th edition, Pearson).

frontier - Stochastic Frontier Analysis

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Stochastic Frontier Production and Cost Functions. Two specifications are available: the error components specification with time-varying efficiencies (Battese and Coelli, 1992, <doi:10.1007/BF00158774>) and a model specification in which the firm effects are directly influenced by a number of variables (Battese and Coelli, 1995, <doi:10.1007/BF01205442>).

urbin - Unifying Estimation Results with Binary Dependent Variables

Calculate unified measures that quantify the effect of a covariate on a binary dependent variable (e.g., for meta-analyses). This can be particularly important if the estimation results are obtained with different models/estimators (e.g., linear probability model, logit, probit, ...) and/or with different transformations of the explanatory variable of interest (e.g., linear, quadratic, interval-coded, ...). The calculated unified measures are: (a) semi-elasticities of linear, quadratic, or interval-coded covariates and (b) effects of linear, quadratic, interval-coded, or categorical covariates when a linear or quadratic covariate changes between distinct intervals, the reference category of a categorical variable or the reference interval of an interval-coded variable needs to be changed, or some categories of a categorical covariate or some intervals of an interval-coded covariate need to be grouped together. Approximate standard errors of the unified measures are also calculated. All methods that are implemented in this package are described in the 'vignette' "Extracting and Unifying Semi-Elasticities and Effect Sizes from Studies with Binary Dependent Variables" that is included in this package.

micEconCES - Analysis with the Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) Function

Tools for econometric analysis and economic modelling with the traditional two-input Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) function and with nested CES functions with three and four inputs. The econometric estimation can be done by the Kmenta approximation, or non-linear least-squares using various gradient-based or global optimisation algorithms. Some of these algorithms can constrain the parameters to certain ranges, e.g. economically meaningful values. Furthermore, the non-linear least-squares estimation can be combined with a grid-search for the rho-parameter(s). The estimation methods are described in Henningsen et al. (2021) <doi:10.4337/9781788976480.00030>.
