Predictions sometimes outside the unit interval Partial effects of explanatory variables are constant Nonlinear models for binary response Response probability is a nonlinear function of explanat. variables
How does the probability for y=1 change if explanatory variable xj changes by one unit? Discrete explanatory variables:

If the latent variable y* is larger than zero, y takes on the value 1, if it is less or equal zero, y takes on 0 (y* can thus be interpreted as the propensity to have y=1)

Limited Dependent Variables and Sample Selection Models
Limited dependent variables (LDV) LDV are variables whose range is substantively restricted • Binary variables, e.g. employed/not employed • Nonnegative variables, e.g. wages, prices, interest rates • Nonnegative variables with excess zeros, e.g. labor supply • Count variables, e.g. the number of arrests in a year • Censored variables, e.g. unemployment durations
