Econometric Analysis of Count Data

This book presents econometric methods for the analysis of event counts. It reviews the recent literature and introduces several new results. While the emphasis is on methods for cross-section data, the modelling of time series and panel count data is discussed as well. Topics include: dependent processes, unobserved heterogeneity, selectivity and endogeneity, underreporting, Bayesian inference. Methodological and practical aspects are combined in an application dealing with the determinants of individual labor mobility.
