1. Horizontal and Vertical Effects in a Logistic Regression Model
Diana Gonzalez

2. Introduction/Motivation
Pinpoint the characteristics that influence married women’s choices of modern contraceptive methods
Effects of the implementation of modern contraceptive methods
Other research use vertical effects (hierarchical structure)
Casterline and Sinding (2000)
Khan, Rahaman, and Shaw (2011)
Ferede (2013)
Propose to study horizontal effects (nearest neighbor) and vertical (hierarchical structure) effects

3. Data 2014 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey
Collected using multistage stratified cluster sampling
14,530 observations
Binary response characteristic:
Whether or not a woman is using modern contraceptive methods

4. Methods Horizontal Effects - Spatial Dependence
Ordinary Least Square Model
Spatial Lag Model
Spatial Error Model
Vertical Effects - Hierarchical Generalized Linear Regression Model
Multilevel Logistic Regression Model
Binomial Distribution with Logit Link

5. Discussion - Horizontal Effects
