Linear probability model: ApplicationCattaneo, Galiani, Gertler, Martinez, and Titiunik (2009). “Housing, Health, and Happiness.” American Economic Journal: Economic Policy 1(1): 75 - 105
• What was the impact of Piso Firme, a large-scale Mexican program to help families replace dirt floors with cement floors?
• A pledge by governor Enrique Martinez y Martinez led to State of Coahuila offering free 50m2 of cement flooring ($150 value), starting in 2000, for homeowners with dirt floors

Cattaneo et al. (AEJ:Economic Policy 2009) “Housing, Health, & Happiness” X1 = “Program dummy” = 1 if offered Piso Firme.

Predicted probabilities from estimated probit and logit models usually are (as usual) very close in this application.

Probit model: ApplicationArcidiacono and Vigdor (2010). “Does the River Spill Over? Estimating the Economic Returns to Attending a Racially Diverse College.” Economic Inquiry 48(3): 537 – 557.
• Does “diversity capital” matter and does minority representation increase it?
• Does diversity improve post-graduate outcomes of non-minority students?
• College & Beyond survey, starting college in 1976
