Econometric Analysis of Count Data (Hardcover, 5th ed. 2008)

The book provides an up-to-date survey of statistical and econometric techniques for the analysis of count data, with a focus on conditional distribution models. The book starts with a presentation of the benchmark Poisson regression model. Alternative models address unobserved heterogeneity, state dependence, selectivity, endogeneity, underreporting, and clustered sampling. Testing and estimation is discussed. Finally, applications are reviewed in various fields.
