Abstract:Over a few decades, regression model has received considerable attention and has been shown to be successful when applied together with other models. One of the most successful models is the sample selection model or the selectivity model. However, uncertainties and ambiguities do exist in the models, particularly the relationship between the endogenous and exogenous variables. Therefore, it will disrupt the ability and effectiveness of the model proceeded to give the estimated value that can explain the actual situation of a phenomenon. These are the questions and problems that are yet to be explored and the main aim of this study. A new framework for estimation of the sample selection model using the concept of fuzzy modelling is introduced. In this approach, a flexible fuzzy concept hybrid with the parametric sample selection model is known as fuzzy parametric sample selection model (FPSSM). The elements of vagueness and uncertainty in the models are represented in the model construction, as a way of increasing the available information to produce a more accurate model. This led to the development of the convergence theorem presented in the form of triangular fuzzy numbers to be used in the model. Consistency is an indicator of effectiveness of the developed models and justified using Monte Carlo simulation. Consistency and efficiency of the proposed model are considered in this study. In order to achieve that condition, a Monte Carlo simulation is used. Hence, the error terms of FPSSM are assumed to follow the normal and the chi-square distributions. Simulation results show that FPSSM is consistent and efficient when its distributions are normal. Instead, the FPSSM by chi-square distribution is found to be inconsistent.
