The data is taken from a longitudinal Australian dataset drawn from a sample of vulnerable individuals. The results, based on a Wooldridge Conditional Maximum Likelihood (WCML) estimator, show that individuals high in internal locus of control are significantly less likely to enter a homeless episode.}, keywords={locus of control;homelessness;dynamic probit model}, }
