Abstract

This article introduces the new community-contributed Stata commands xtdhazard and cfbinout. The former implements the own-differences instrumental variables estimator proposed by Farbmacher and Tauchmann (2023, Econometric Reviews 42(8): 635–654) for dealing with time-invariant unobserved heterogeneity in the discrete-time hazard model. cfbinout is called by xtdhazard if a nonlinear rather than a linear discrete-time hazard model is specified. cfbinout can also be used as a stand-alone command that generalizes ivprobit, twostep by allowing discrete endogenous regressors and different link functions than the normal link, specifically logit and cloglog. In terms of the underlying econometric theory, cfbinout is guided by Wooldridge (2015, Journal of Human Resources 50(2): 420–445). An Empirical example illustrates the use of xtdhazard in applied empirical work.
