Simulation Based Inference for Dynamic Multinomial Choice Models
Geweke, John; Houser, Dan; Keane, Michael - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 1999
Our goal in this chapter is to explain concretely how to implement simulation methods in a very general class of models that are extremely useful in applied work: dynamic discrete choice models where one has available a panel of multinomial choice histories and partially observed payoffs....

Model of the 2000 Presidential Election: Instrumenting for Ideology
Fernandez, Jose; Cataiefe, Guido - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009
In a spatial model of voting, a voter's utility for a candidate is a function of ideological distance from the candidate and a candidate's quality. Candidate quality can potentially bias the measure of ideological distance in two ways. First, voters may be more drawn to high quality candidates...

Measuring the recreational use value of migratory shorebirds on the Delaware Bay
Myers, Kelley H.; Parsons, George R.; Edwards, Peter E.T. - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
In this article we estimate the recreational use value of household trips to view shorebirds during the annual horseshoe crab/shorebird migration on the Delaware Bay. We use contingent valuation to estimate the value of day and overnight trips separately and use a discrete choice question...

Stochastically more risk averse: A contextual theory of stochastic discrete choice under risk
Wilcox, Nathaniel - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2007
Microeconometric treatments of discrete choice under risk are typically homoscedastic latent variable models. Specifically, choice probabilities are given by preference functional differences (given by expected utility, rank-dependent utility, etc.) embedded in cumulative distribution functions....

Choice probability generating functions
Fosgerau, Mogens; McFadden, Daniel; Bierlaire, Michel - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
This paper establishes that every random utility discrete choice model (RUM) has a representation that can be characterized by a choice-probability generating function (CPGF) with specific properties, and that every function with these specific properties is consistent with a RUM. The choice...
