Theory: The spatial model of elections can better be represented by using conditional logit than by multinomial logit. The spatial model, and random utility models in general, suffer from a failure to adequately consider the sub­ stitutability of candidates sharing similar or identical issue positions. Hypotheses: Multinomial logit is not much better than successive applications of binomial log...

A model for binary panel data is introduced which allows for state dependence and unobserved heterogeneity beyond the effect of strictly exogenous covariates. The model is of quadratic exponential type and its structure closely resembles that of the dynamic logit model. An economic interpretation of its assumptions, based on expectation about future outcomes, is provided. The main advantage of ...

A board meeting is an avenue for directors of organization to carry out their oversight and monitoring functions as well discuss meet the request needs stakeholders. Corporate strategies are taken implemented when members meet. Leaning on this fact, study examined impact meetings sustainability reporting in listed deposit money banks Nigeria. sample ten (10) from 2014 2020 was conveniently sele...

In the context of the SustainCity project (http://www.sustaincity.eu), three European cities (Brussels, Paris and Zurich) will be modelled using the land use microsimulation platform UrbanSim. This platform relies on various models interacting with each other, to predict long-term urban development. The aim of this paper is to provide some econometric insight into this process. A common set of ...

This article examines the effect of parents' Medicaid status on the use of preventive health services by young children. Using data from the 1996 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), we analyzed a logit model for receipt of any well-child visits (WCVs) that compared three groups of low-income children. The three groups, defined by the joint insurance status of children and their parents, in...

Previous works have extensively studied the transferability of adversarial samples in untargeted black-box scenarios. However, it still remains challenging to craft targeted examples with higher than non-targeted ones. Recent studies reveal that traditional Cross-Entropy (CE) loss function is insufficient learn transferable due issue vanishing gradient. In this work, we provide a comprehensive ...

We estimate random-parameter logit models of anglers' choice of fishing site. The models generalize logit by allowing coefficients to vary randomly over anglers rather than being fixed. The models do not exhibit the restrictive "independence from irrelevant alternatives property" of logit and can represent any substitution pattern. Estimation explicitly accounts for the fact that the variation ...

The nested logit model has been used extensively to model multi-dimensional choice situations. A drawback of the nested logit model is that it does not allow choice alternatives to share common unobserved attributes along all the dimensions characterizing the multi-dimensional choice context. This paper formulates a mixed multinomial logit structure that accommodates unobserved correlation acro...
