| Research Abstract |
We propose two types of semiparametric models to analyze endogeneity. First, we propose a generalized Poisson lognormal model and find good performance. Second, we consider finite mixture count data models for medical care demand using hurdle and non-hurdle specifications. The standard finite mixture negative binomial model is not always the best choice.
