Hi,

you might also want to check out "hotdeck" by david clayton. There is
also propensity score matching by Sascha Becker and Andrea Ichino.

Subject: st: Imputation of binary explanatory variable in probit model

Dear Statalisters,

I know this is not a Stata-question per se but I know of no better forum
to ask it to, so:

With item non-response in a probit model, is it "ok" to impute the
missing values of a binary explanatory variable with the mean?  I
suspect it should be ok with a linear probability (OLS) model but am not
sure about the consequences in the probit framework (due to the
non-linearity, the imputed values will impact the other variables, also,
right?).  I would be most grateful for any insights on this issue (and
imputation in general).

Cheers,

Niels-Hugo
