Schelling (1978) suggested a simple binary choice model to explain the variation of corruption levels across societies. His basic idea was that expected profitability

We provide a simple necessary and suffi cient condition for when a multiproduct demand system can be generated from a discrete choice model with unit demands.

R. Verma G. R. Plaschka B. Hanlon A. Livingston K. Kalcher This paper presents an overview of the science and art of discrete choice modeling for service sector applications. With the ongoing momentum of service science, management, and engineering, the discrete choice modeling approach provides a sophisticated tool kit for assessing the needs and preferences of service customers. We provide di...

M supermarket firms choose to position themselves by offering either everyday low prices (EDLP) across several items or offering temporary price reductions (promotions) on a limited range of items. While this choice has been addressed from a theoretical perspective in both the marketing and economic literature, relatively little is known about how these decisions are made in practice, especiall...

background nearly every nation in the world faces shortages of health workers in remote areas. cameroon is no exception to this. the ministry of public health (moph) is currently considering several rural retention strategies to motivate qualified health personnel to practice in remote rural areas.   methods to better calibrate these mechanisms and to develop evidence-based retention strategies...

This paper proposes a new identification and estimation approach to semi-parametric multinomial choice models that easily applies to not only cross-sectional settings but also panel data settings with unobservable fixed effects. Our approach is based on cyclic monotonicity, which is a defining feature of the random utility framework underlying multinomial choice models. From the cyclic monotoni...

This paper considers estimation of the coe¢ cients in a semiparametric multinomial choice model with linear indirect utility functions (with common coe¢ cients but di¤ering regressors) and errors that are assumed to be independent of the regressors. This implies that the conditional mean of the vector of dependent indicator variables is a smooth and invertible function of a corresponding vector...

this paper discusses the study of community’s preferences for biodiversity conservation management institution which may motivate them to support conservation efforts in the okwangwo division of the cross river national park, nigeria. the empirical data was generated from personal interviews and factors influencing the respondents’ choice were examined with the aid of multinomial logit mode...
