| Subject | st: IV estimation in a negative binomial framework |
| Date | Tue, 9 Aug 2011 14:03:49 -0700 |
Hi, I am analyzing a model where my dependent variable is a count variable, specifically the number of riot cases in a district. Since the variance of the dependent variable is quite high compared to the mean I plan to use the negative binomial distribution. However my independent variable is endogenous and I would like to use a instrument variable analysis. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful in finding any program which implements IV in a negative binomial context. Could somebody please advice me how to implement IV estimation in a negative binomial framework? I would really appreciate any help in this regard.
