Using the technical efficiencyproductivity derived from dea as the dependent variable, the following tobit regression model can be estimated. Specifically, if a continuous dependent variable needs to be regressed, but is skewed to one direction, the tobit model is used. Tobit model was used to model effective factors on this demand. Thus the paper illustrates an important use of tobit analysis which could be usefully employed as the model is more widely used. Pdf the examined data can have both crosssectional and time series dimensions. Lecture 8 models for censored and truncated data tobit model. The following is the general model used for the study. However, as the tobit model is nonlinear, incorporating fixed effects in the analysis would lead to the incidental parameters problem and results in biased estimates.
