Universidad de San Andrés. Departamento de Economía; Argentina. This paper evaluates the efficiency gains of the Adaptive Least Squares (ALS) estimator proposed by Romano and Wolf (2017) in the context of Linear Probability Models (LPM), where heteroskedasticity is inherent to the model. Using empirical applications and Monte Carlo simulations, we compare ALS to OLS and Probit estimators under three strategies for handling predicted probabilities outside the (0, 1) interval: bounding, sigmoid transformation, and trimming. The results show that efficiency gains from ALS are not systematic and depend on the correction method, with the bounding approach yielding the most substantial improvements. 2025-10-13T17:45:27Z 2025-10-13T17:45:27Z 2025-09 Tesis info:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesis info:ar-repo/semantics/tesis de maestría info:eu-repo/semantics/updatedVersion https://repositorio.udesa.edu.ar/handle/10908/25824 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ application/pdf application/pdf Universidad de San Andrés.
