NONPARAMETRIC ANALYSIS OF RANDOM UTILITY MODELS: TESTING By
This paper develops and implements a nonparametric test of Random Utility Models (RUM) using only nonsatiation and the Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference (SARP) as restrictions on individual level behavior, allowing for fully unrestricted unobserved heterogeneity. The main application is the test of the null hypothesis that a sample of cross-sectional demand distributions was generated by a po...
متن کاملBayesian nonparametric mixed random utility models
Wepropose amixedmultinomial logit model, with themixing distribution assigned a general (nonparametric) stick-breaking prior.Wepresent aMarkov chainMonte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm to sample and estimate the posterior distribution of the model’s parameters. The algorithm relies on a Gibbs (slice) sampler that is useful for Bayesian nonparametric (infinite-dimensional) models. The model and algorith...
متن کاملFuzzy Random Utility Choice Models: The Case of Telecommuting Suitability
Random utility models have been widely used in many diverse fields. Considering utility as a random variable opened many new analytical doors to researchers in explaining behavioral phenomena. Introducing and incorporating the random error term into the utility function had several reasons, including accounting for unobserved variables. This paper incorporates fuzziness into random utility mode...
متن کاملEstimating Nonparametric Random Utility Models with an Application to the Value of Time in Heterogeneous Populations
The estimation of random parameters by means of mixed logit models is becoming current practice amongst discrete choice analysts, one of the most straightforward applications being the derivation of willingness to pay distribution over a heterogeneous population. In numerous practical cases, parametric distributions are a priori specified and the parameters for these distributions are estimated...
متن کاملEmpirical Welfare Analysis in Random Utility Models of Labour Supply
The aim of this paper is to apply recently proposed individual welfare measures in the context of random utility models of labour supply. Contrary to the standard practice of using reference preferences and wages, these measures preserve preference heterogeneity in the normative step of the analysis. They also make the ethical priors, implicit in any interpersonal comparison, more explicit. On ...
