We show FC-MNL is flexible in the sense of Diewert (1974), thus its parameters can be chosen to match a well-defined class of possible own- and cross-price elasticities of demand. In contrast to models such as Probit and Random Coefficient-MNL models, FC-MNL does not require estimation via...

Regression models of a dependent variable that take on qualitative values 0 and 1 cannot be interpreted as conventional regression models. The fact that the dependent variable takes on two different values causes some problems in the model. These problems include the fact that the model’s...

This paper develops an algorithm for analyzing discrete events, such as labor market transitions, when some of these transitions are spurious because of measurement errors. Our algorithm extends the standard multinomial logit model, although our basic approach could be used with other stochastic...
