It is well understood that the two most popular empirical models of location choice conditional logit and Poisson return identical coefficient estimates when the regressors are not individual specific. We show that these two models differ starkly in terms of their implied predictions. The conditional logit model represents a zero-sum world, in which one region's gain is the other regions' loss....

The aim of this paper is to contribute to describe the simultaneous choice of travel mode and 1 departure time by making use of a cross-nested logit structure that allows for the joint representation of 2 inter-alternative correlation along the both choice dimensions. Traditional multinomial logit model and 3 nested logit model are formulated respectively. The analysis uses the Revealed Prefere...

The Multinomial Logit, discrete choice model of transport demand, has several restrictions when compared with the more general Multinomial Probit model. The most famous of these are that unobservable components of utilities should be mutually independent and homoskedastic. Correlation can be accommodated to a certain extent by the Hierarchical Logit model, but the problem of heteroskedasticity ...

one of the really important challenges facing agricultural producers is the choice of their product distribution channels. the present study is aimed at investigating the citrus marketing channel strategy and its determinants among citrus orchardists of mazandaran using a nested logit model. some two hundred and fifty two orchardists from 15 cities of mazandaran were taken as the study samples....

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...
