/* Replicate the results in Wooldridge, Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data, section 15.10, using pension-plan data from Papke (AER, 1998). The dependent variable, pctstck (percent stocks), codes the asset allocation responses of "mostly bonds", "mixed" and "mostly stocks" as {0, 50, 100}. The independent variable of interest is "choice", a dummy indicating whether individuals are able to choose their own asset allocations. */ open pension.gdt # demographic characteristics of participant list DEMOG = age educ female black married # dummies coding for income level list INCOME = finc25 finc35 finc50 finc75 finc100 finc101 # Papke's OLS approach ols pctstck const choice DEMOG INCOME wealth89 prftshr # save the OLS choice coefficient choice_ols = $coeff(choice) # estimate ordered probit probit pctstck choice DEMOG INCOME wealth89 prftshr k = $ncoeff matrix b = $coeff[1:k-2] a1 = $coeff[k-1] a2 = $coeff[k] /* Wooldridge illustrates the 'choice' effect in the ordered probit by reference to a single, non-black male aged 60, with 13.5 years of education, income in the range $50K - $75K and wealth of $200K, participating in a plan with profit sharing. */ matrix X = {60, 13.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 200, 1} # with 'choice' = 0 scalar Xb = (0 ~ X) * b P0 = cdf(N, a1 - Xb) P50 = cdf(N, a2 - Xb) - P0 P100 = 1 - cdf(N, a2 - Xb) E0 = 50 * P50 + 100 * P100 # with 'choice' = 1 Xb = (1 ~ X) * b P0 = cdf(N, a1 - Xb) P50 = cdf(N, a2 - Xb) - P0 P100 = 1 - cdf(N, a2 - Xb) E1 = 50 * P50 + 100 * P100 printf "\nWith choice, E(y) = %.2f, without E(y) = %.2f\n", E1, E0 printf "Estimated choice effect via ML = %.2f (OLS = %.2f)\n", E1 - E0, choice_ols
