This paper explores the estimation of a class of life-cycle discrete choice intergenerational models. It proposes a new semiparametric estimator. It shows that it is root-N-consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. We compare our estimator with a modified version of the full solution...

Discrete choice model is probably one of the most popularly used statistical methods in practice. The common feature of this model is that it considers the behavioral factors of a person and the assumption of independent individuals. However, this widely accepted assumption seems problematic...
