  2. ORDINAL REGRESSION MODELS • In many applications in the social and medical sciences the discrete response categories are ordered or ranked. • In labor market studies, workers can work full time, part time, or not be in the workforce. • Corporate bonds are rated as B, B+, A, A+, A++, each higher rating denoting higher credit worthiness. • Cannot be treated as interval-scale or ratio-scale variables. • Cannot say that the difference between full time work and part time work or between part time work and no work is the same. • The ratio between any two categories here may not be practically meaningful.

  3. ORDERED LOGIT MODEL (OLM) • Estimate • where there are J ordered alternatives, and a1 – a(J-1) represent cutoffs or threshold parameters. • Gives the (cumulative) probability that Yi falls in a category j and below. • The slope coefficients of the X regressors are the same in each category; only their intercepts (cutoffs) differ. That is why OLM are also known as proportional-odds models. Damodar Gujarati Econometrics by Example, second edition

  4. ORDERED LOGIT MODEL (CONT.) • The cumulative probabilities are shown as: • And the odds ratio is defined as: • We end up with the following ordered logit function: Damodar Gujarati Econometrics by Example, second edition

  5. ALTERNATIVES TO PROPORTIONAL ODDS MODEL • Formal Test of Parallel Regression Lines: • The tests, omodel and Brant, developed by Long and Freese, can be used to test the assumption of parallel regression lines (easily downloaded in Stata). • If the assumption of parallel regression lines is violated, one alternative is to use the multinomial logit model (MLM) discussed in the previous chapter or other alternatives.
