By drawing on a nested logit model that unifies the conditional logit model and the Poisson regression, Brülhart and Schmidheiny (2015) have developed a method to estimate the degree of rivalness between options by a factor rho. This paper suggests that the Brülhart and Schmidheiny (2015)...

Based on a measure of vertical relatedness, each of the 165,000 acquisitions in our...

Within the context of the firm location choice problem, Guimarães et al. (2003) have shown that a Poisson count regression and a conditional logit model yield identical coeffcient estimates. Yet, the corresponding interpretation differs since these discrete choice models reflect polar cases as...
