This paper investigates the performance – in terms of choice probabilities and correlations existing new specifications closed-form route models with flexible correlation patterns, namely Link Nested Logit (LNL), Paired Combinatorial (PCL) more recent Combination (CoNL) models. Following a consolidated track literature, Multinomial Probit (MNP) model by [1] are taken as targets. Laboratory expe...

The contributions of this paper are twofold: On the one hand, the paper analyses the factors determining the growth in car ownership in Spain over the last two decades, and, on the other, the paper provides empirical evidence for a controversial methodological issue. From a methodological point of view, the paper compares the two alternative decision mechanisms used for modelling car ownership:...

A Monte Carlo experiment is undertaken to examine the small sample properties of three alternative estimators of a bivariate probit model with selection. The three estimators are the censored probit estimator, single-equation probit applied to the selected sub-sample and single-equation probit applied to the full sample. These estimators are compared in terms of properties of coefficient estima...

  I n this paper, the effects of the Food Stamp (FS) Program (now referred to as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-SNAP) on individuals’ food choices are evaluated. In other words, I examine how households' food choice or relative food consumption is changed by FS participation.

This paper aims provide further information on status inconsistency Africa by assessing of soc...

BACKGROUND Visual acuity measurement often results in an imprecise endpoint because subjects correctly identify some but not all of the letters on one or more size levels on a letter chart. The extent of this transition zone from seeing to nonseeing can be described by probit size, which is calculated by performing Probit Analysis on letter chart data. There has been no previous research into t...

Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between happiness (utility) and a host of socio-economic variables. The data set consists of a random sample of over 5,000 individuals from the Swedish adult population. Happiness is measured by a three-point categorical measure of overall happiness (not happy, happy sometimes, happy most of the time), and an ordered probit model is used to eco...
