This important collection brings together leading econometricians to discuss recent advances in the areas of the econometrics of panel data, limited dependent variable models and limited dependent variable models with panel data. The contributors focus on the issues of simplifying complex real world phenomena into easily generalizable inferences from individual outcomes. As the contributions of G. S. Maddala in the fields of limited dependent variables and panel data have been particularly influential, it is a fitting tribute that this volume is dedicated to him.

This collection brings together important contributions by leading econometricians on parametric approaches to qualitative and sample selection models, nonparametric and semi-parametric approaches to qualitative and sample selection models, and nonlinear estimation of cross-sectional and time series models. The advances achieved here can have important bearing on the choice of methods and analytical techniques in applied research. The collection of papers is dedicated to Professor Takeshi Amemiya in view of his path-breaking contributions to econometrics and statistics.
