TL;DR: In this article, a new methodology for correcting panel data models for attrition bias is presented, which combines Rubin's Multiple Imputations technique with Manski and Lerman's Weighted Exogenous Sample Maximum Likelihood Estimator (WESMLE).

Abstract: This chapter demonstrates a new methodology for correcting panel data models for attrition bias. The method combines Rubin’s Multiple Imputations technique with Manski and Lerman’s Weighted Exogenous Sample Maximum Likelihood Estimator (WESMLE). Simple Hausman tests for the presence of attrition bias are also derived. We demonstrate the technique using a dynamic commute mode choice model estimated from the University of California Transportation Center’s Southern California Transportation Panel. The methodology is simpler to use than standard maximum likelihood-based procedures. It can be easily modified for use with many panel data estimation and forecasting procedures.

Modeling non-ignorable attrition and measurement error in panel surveys: an application to travel demand modeling
TL;DR: This article examined new methods for adjusting forecasts and model estimates to account for the high and likely non-ignorable attrition of modern panel surveys, and transportation surveys suffer from poor travel time estimates.

Local-Option Transportation Taxes: Devolution as a Revolution
TL;DR: In this article, the authors look at changes in the imposition of local taxes to pay for transporation; they find some movement away from user fees and find that it has been easier to try new kinds of funding, such as sales taxes, the author says.

Multiple imputation methodology for missing data, non-random response, and panel attrition.
David Brownstone
- 01 Mar 1997
TL;DR: Brownstone et al. as discussed by the authors show how Rubin's multiple imputation methodology provides a unified approach to alleviating the problems of missing data and non-random response biases in travel-behavior surveys.

Specification Tests in Econometrics
TL;DR: In this article, the null hypothesis of no misspecification was used to show that an asymptotically efficient estimator must have zero covariance with its difference from a consistent but asymptonically inefficient estimator, and specification tests for a number of model specifications in econometrics.

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of drinking behavior among men of retirement age was conducted and the results showed that the majority of the participants reported that they did not receive any benefits from the Social Security Administration.

The Estimation of Choice Probabilities from Choice Based Samples
TL;DR: In this paper, a choice-based sampling process is proposed to estimate the parameters of a probabilistic choice model when choices rather than decision makers are sampled and the characteristics of the decision makers selecting those alternatives are observed.

Statistical Matching Using File Concatenation With Adjusted Weights and Multiple Imputations
TL;DR: The method of file concatenation with adjusted weights and multiple imputations is described and illustrated on an artificial example, showing the ability to display sensitivity of inference to untestable assumptions being made when creating the matched file.
