Trust and racial income inequality : evidence from the U.S.
Tesei, Andrea - 2015

Non-Linear Mixed Logit
Andersen, Steffen; Harrison, Glenn W.; Hole, Arne Risa; … - 2010
We develop an extension of the familiar linear mixed logit model to allow for the direct estimation of parametric non-linear functions defined over structural parameters. A classic application is the estimation of coefficients of utility functions to characterize risk attitudes. There are...
