Amemiya, Takeshi, (1978). "The Estimation of a Simultaneous Equation
Generalized Probit Model." Econometrica, 46(5):1193-1205.
A class of generalized least squares estimators are proposed and their
asymptotic variance-covariance matrices are obtained for a simultaneous twoequation
model in which one of the dependent variables is completely observed
and the other is observed only to the extent of whether or not it is positive.
Amemiya, Takeshi (1978). "On a Two-Step Estimation of a Multivariate
Logit Model." Journal of Econometrics, 8:13-21.
In this article the author studies the properties of the two-step
estimation method proposed by Domencich and McFadden (Urban Travel Demand,
North-Holland, 1975) for a multivariate logit model and shows that it is
consistent but asymptotically less efficient than the maximum likelihood
estimator. Its computation, however, can be considerably simpler than that of
the maximum likelihood estimator, especially in models involving several
dependent variables.

Journal of Economic Literature 19(December):1483-1536.
Qualitative response (QR) models developed between 1970 and 1981 are
reviewed in this article with special attention paid to (1) the specification
of a model that is consistent with economic theory and is statistically
manageable, (2) the estimation of model parameters and the hypothesis tests
based on those estimated parameters, and (3) the criteria to use in choosing
among competing models. First, univariate dichotomous dependent variable
models are developed, such as the biometric applications of insect survival
(survive = 1, death = 0) as a function of insecticide dosage. Next,
multinomial or multi-response models are developed for the case of choice of
occupation, housing, transportation choice, etc. Lastly, multivariate models
are presented where more than one discrete dependent variable exists, e.g.
determination of the probability of catching a fish given the probability that
one takes a recreational fishing trip P(Y=1%X=1). Since the same set of
discrete data can be analyzed by many different QR models, this survey is most
useful as a guide in choosing an appropriate QR model from an economictheoretic
and a statistical view point.

This book is intended as a reference book for professional
econometricians and as a graduate textbook. It contains an excellent review
of qualitative response models.
