The paper introduces four unbiased probability-simulators which produce continuous (simulated) log-likelihood functions with almost everywhere continuous derivatives. Identification conditions are derived which show that in the presence of intercepts in the latent utilities, then the shocks'...

We propose a simulated maximum likelihood estimator for dynamic models based on non-parametric kernel methods. Our … method is designed for models without latent dynamics from which one can simulate observations but cannot obtain a closed … dynamic models that this nonparametric simulated maximum likelihood (NPSML) estimator is consistent and asymptotically …

We examine some of the properties possessed by this class of regression models and show … its connections to several other models. For fitting purposes, we use the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm which we …

This paper examines the consumers' preferences to the local furniture market in the Province of Serres. We apply a multinomial logit model to investigate the probability of buying a furniture in the following four-monthly period. We analyze also the demographic characteristics and we conclude...
