A Microeconometric Analysis of Risk Aversion and the Decision to Self-Insure
This study estimates a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function using market data and microeconometric methods. The authors investigate the decision whether to purchase insurance against the risk of telephone line trouble in the home. Using the choices of approximately 10,000 residential customers, they determine the shape of the utility function and the degree of risk aversion. The authors find that risk aversion varies systematically in the pop…
The Demand for Tax Return Preparation Services
We analyze taxpayer choices of return preparation \nservices. We distinguish between two types of nonpaid preparers, six types of paid third parties, and self-preparation. Among other things, we find significant differences in the factors which explain the demand for paid third parties who are and are not able to represent clients before the IRS. Among these factors are increases in IRS audit rates and the frequency of IRS penalties
Safety at nuclear power plants
The Price-Anderson Act has indemnified the commercial nuclear power industry since its inception. This article proposes a present value model of firm investment in reactor safety systems to investigate the safety incentives of the 1988 amendments to the Act. While the amendments increase safety incentives for electric utilities through insurance regulation, safety behavior depends crucially on the anticipated reaction of the state regulatory comm…
Selection Bias in Linear Regression, Logit and Probit Models
Missing data are common in observational studies due to self-selection of subjects. Missing data can bias estimates of linear regression and related models. The nature of selection bias and econometric methods for correcting it are described. The econometric approach relies upon a specification of the selection mechanism. We extend this approach to binary logit and probit models and provide a simple test for selection bias in these models. An ana…
An Engineering/Econometric Analysis of Seasonal Energy Demand and Conservation in the Pacific Northwest
This article estimates a new model of residential electricity demand. It differs from previous work in two ways. First, we use individual monthly billing data in a pooled time-series/cross- section framework. Second, we use an engineering/thermal-load technique to model the household space-heating technology. We estimate the model using data from the Pacific Northwest and use the results to analyze three conservation measures: a price increase, a…
