Simplified marginal effects in discrete choice models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that with a simple normalization of explanatory variables, marginal effects in probit and logit models simplify dramatically, becoming a function of only the estimated constant term. Related simplifications hold for computation of asymptotic variances of these effects. D 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A Tractable Framework to Relate Marginal Willingness-to-pay in Hedonic and Discrete Choice Models
The two primary approaches to estimate marginal willingness-to-pay (MWTP) are hedonic (Rosen, 1974) and discrete choice models (McFadden, 1974). This paper provides a tractable framework to investigate the relationship between MWTP in these models. By deriving the hedonic price gradient implicitly from the share function in the discrete choice model, I present an analytical mapping between the ...
متن کاملEstimation of Structural Parameters and Marginal Effects in Binary Choice Panel Data Models with Fixed Effects
Fixed effects estimates of structural parameters in nonlinear panel models can be severely biased due to the incidental parameters problem. In this paper I show that the most important component of this incidental parameters bias for probit fixed effects estimators of index coefficients is proportional to the true parameter value, using a large-T expansion of the bias. This result allows me to ...
متن کاملProbit and nested logit models based on fuzzy measure
Inspired by the interactive discrete choice logit models [Aggarwal, 2019], this paper presents the advanced families of discrete choice models, such as nested logit, mixed logit, and probit models to consider the interaction among the attributes. Besides the DM's attitudinal character is also taken into consideration in the computation of choice probabilities. The proposed choice models make us...

متن کاملOn Theoretical and Empirical Aspects of Marginal Distribution Choice Models
In this paper, we study the properties of a recently proposed class of semiparametric discrete choice models (referred to as the Marginal Distribution Model), by optimizing over a family of joint error distributions with prescribed marginal distributions. Surprisingly, the choice probabilities arising from the family of Generalized Extreme Value models can be obtained from this approach, despit...
