Private transfers appear to function like means-tested public transfers, flowing from better off to worse off households and providing old-age support in retirement. Private transfers are large and widespread in both surveys,and they are much larger than public transfers are. Rapid economic growth during the 1990's did little to diminish the importance of private transfers in Vietnam. Donald Cox, " Private Inter-household Transfers in Vietnam in the Early and Late 1990s" (02/2002: 96 Kb, PDF)Ībstract: This chapter uses data from the 1992//98 Vietnam Living Standards Surveys (VLSS) to describe patterns of money transfers between households. Our limiting distribution theory includes a new asymptotic trimming result addressing the boundary bias in first stage density estimation without knowledge of the support boundary.ĥ24. A simulation study indicates the new estimators perform well in finite samples. Also provided is an instrumental variables based two stage least squares estimator for this model, which can be used when some regressors are endogenous, mismeasured, or otherwise correlated with the errors. The distribution of the errors is unknown and permits general forms of unknown heteroskedasticity. 09/2006: 376 Kb, PDF)Ībstract: This paper provides a root-n consistent, asymptotically normal weighted least squares estimator of the coefficients in a truncated regression model.
