(The thirteen papers in Structural Analysis of Discrete Da...)
The thirteen papers in Structural Analysis of Discrete Data are previously unpublished major research contributions solicited by the editors. They have been specifically prepared to fulfill the two-fold purpose of the volume, first to provide the econometrics student with an overview of the present extent of the subject and to delineate the boundaries of current research, both in terms of methodology and applications. "Coordinated publication of important findings" should, as the editors state, "lower the cost of entry into the field and speed dissemination of recent research into the graduate econometrics classroom." A second purpose of the volume is to communicate results largely reported in the econometrics literature to a wider community of researchers to whom they are directly relevant, including applied econometricians, statisticians in the area of discrete multivariate analysis, specialists in biometrics, psychometrics, and sociometrics, and analysts in various applied fields such as finance, marketing, and transportation. The papers are grouped into four sections: Statistical Analysis of Discrete Probability Models, with papers by the editors and by Steven Cosslett; Dynamic Discrete Probability Models, consisting of two contributions by James Heckman; Structural Discrete Probability Models Derived from Theories of Choice, with papers by Daniel McFadden, Gregory Fischer and Daniel Nagin, Steven Lerman and Charles Manski, and Moshe Ben-Akiva and Thawat Watanatada; and Simultaneous Systems Models with Discrete Endogenous Variables, with contributions by Lung-Fei Lee, Jerry Hausman and David Wise, Dale Poirier, Peter Schmidt, and Robert Avery. Among the applications treated are income maintenance experiments, physician behavior, consumer credit, and intra-urban location and transportation.

(Microeconomic Modeling and Policy Analysis: Studies in Re...)
Microeconomic Modeling and Policy Analysis: Studies in Residential Energy Demand analyzes the aggregates and distributional impacts from alternative energy polices related to the energy demands of residential consumers. The book also analyzes the use of micro-simulation models in the study. The book examines three alternative energy policies and their possible impacts on the residential energy demand. The text describes models on energy use including general micro-simulation and micro-simulation as applied in ""Residential End-Use Energy Planning Systems"" (REEPS) and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Residential Energy Consumption Model. The book describes REEPS as a model providing end-use specific forecasts of energy consumption at the household level. The text describes ORNL as a computationally simpler design but conceptually more complex one. The book then evaluates three different policy scenarios using each of these two models. The performance of REEPS and ORNL, as well as other dimensions of model projections, is examined. The implications regarding 1) policy analysis and 2) the use of micro simulation models are noted. The book then presents a table that summarizes the results of the comparative model evaluation. Energy policymakers, city and local government planning officials, development engineers, and environmentalists will find this book very relevant.

McFadden was born in 1937 in Raleigh, North Carolina, United States of America; the son of Robert Sain McFadden and Alice Little McFadden.
McFadden received a Bachelor of Science degree in physics from the University of Minnesota in 1957. Five years later he was given a Doctor of Philosophy degree in behavioral science from the same university.
McFadden began his career as a Mellon post-doctoral fellow at the University of Pittsburgh in 1962. A year later he took a position of a teacher at the University of California in Berkeley and held it until 1979. Also in 1966, Daniel was a visiting professor at the University of Chicago, where he worked for a year.
He served as the Irving Fisher Research Professor at the University of Yale from 1976 to 1977. Then in 1977, McFadden joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a teacher of economics. In addition, he became a director at MIT`s Statistics Research Center in 1986. He served as a Fairchild fellow at the California Institute of Technology in 1990.
In 1991, he returned the University of California and was named the E. Morris Cox Professor of Economics. Also Daniel founded the Econometrics Laboratory at the same university and served as its director in 1991-1995 and again since 1996. Since January 2011 McFadden has been the presidential professor of health economics at the University of Southern California. He has served as a professor of the Graduate School at University of California in Berkeley.
McFadden’s work combined economic theory, statistical methods and empirical applications toward the resolution of social problems. His work helped predict usage rates for public transportation systems and his statistical methods were applied to studies of labour-force participation, health care, housing and the environment.
