Rational Inattention to Discrete Choices: A New Foundation for the Multinomial Logit Model†‡
Individuals must often choose among discrete actions with imperfect information about their payoffs. Before choosing, they have an opportunity to study the payoffs, but doing so is costly. This creates new choices such as the number of and types of questions to ask. We model these situations using the rational inattention approach to information frictions. We find that the decision maker’s opti...
متن کاملThe Generalized Multinomial Logit Model
The so-called “mixed” or “heterogeneous” multinomial logit (MIXL) model has become popular in a number of fields, especially Marketing, Health Economics and Industrial Organization. In most applications of the model, the vector of consumer utility weights on product attributes is assumed to have a multivariate normal (MVN) distribution in the population. Thus, some consumers care more about som...
متن کاملOn Rank-Ordered Nested Multinomial Logit Model and D-Optimal Design for this Model
In contrast to the classical discrete choice experiment, the respondent in a rank-order discrete choice experiment, is asked to rank a number of alternatives instead of the preferred one. In this paper, we study the information matrix of a rank order nested multinomial logit model (RO.NMNL) and introduce local D-optimality criterion, then we obtain Locally D-optimal design for RO.NMNL models in...
متن کاملBayesian Inference in the Multinomial Logit Model
The multinomial logit model (MNL) possesses a latent variable representation in terms of random variables following a multivariate logistic distribution. Based on multivariate finite mixture approximations of the multivariate logistic distribution, various data-augmented Metropolis-Hastings algorithms are developed for a Bayesian inference of the MNL model. Zusammenfassung: Das multinomiale log...
متن کاملAn empirical comparison of the validity of a neural net based multinomial logit choice model to alternative model specifications
Applications of choice models to brand purchase data as a rule specify a linear deterministic utility function. We estimate deterministic utility by means of a neural net able to approximate any continuous multivariate function and its derivatives to a desired level of precision. We compare this model to related alternatives both with linear and nonlinear utility functions. Alternatives with no...
