The studies described in the present paper extend the author s earlier work on testing the ‘‘independence condition’’ for decisions under risk to the ‘‘conjoint independence’’ for multi-attribute decisions. The ‘‘equate-to-differentiate’’ approach, which is proposed as a means by which weak dominance can be made applicable in more general cases in binary choice, is presented to account for the ...

This paper shows that many estimators of thresholds in ordered response models exist, because binary choice location estimators can be converted into threshold estimators. A new threshold estimator is proposed that is consistent under more general conditions. An extension to random thresholds is provided. JEL codes: C14, C25, C13.
