摘要：EmPrical studies of labor force participation based on individuals as the unit of observation normally utilize a binary dependent variable,coded "one" if the person ParticiPates in the labor force,and "zero" ifthe person does not participate.Researchers use either "linear probability models (LPM with OLS)" or "nonlinear probability models (such as logit,probit and tobit models) in estimation of probabilities of these "0 and l.,,Due to some undesirable statistical properties of LPM's,the use of probit and logit models has become quite common whenever dependent variable in a regression is qualitative.These models have been used intensively in mikoeconometric studie's especialy in labor economics in l990s.The purpose of this paper is to estimate a typical labor force ParticiPation model and compııre OLS,probit and logit estimates of that model.ln conclusion,I will give an explanation of the statistical problems of OLS,logit and probit procedures.
