Tobin's estimation strategy has been influential not only within economics but also beyond. A JSTOR full-text search on 'tobit' conducted on 9 October 2008 had 2074 hits in economics, but also 149 in statistics, 193 in political science, and 402 in sociology. There were also 735 hits in religion, but most of these relate to the Book of Tobit in the Old Testament.
