在健康计量经济学中，Heckman样本选择和两部分模型之间存在着一个很好的争论，特别是当没有明显的排除限制时。这场辩论的大部分集中在这些模型的应用，以卫生保健支出。本文在女性吸烟和饮酒的背景下重新审视了这场争论，并从理论、实践和统计三个方面对这两种方法进行了评价。两部分模式普遍受到青睐，但强调这种比较应在个案基础上进行。(C)2007 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
There is a well-established debate between Heckman sample selection and two-part models in health econometrics, particularly when no obvious exclusion restrictions are available. Most of this debate has focussed on the application of these models to health care expenditure. This paper revisits the debate in the context of female smoking and drinking, and evaluates the two approaches on three grounds: theoretical, practical and statistical. The two-part model is generally favoured but it is stressed that this comparison should be carried out on a case-by-case basis. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
