ESTIMATION OF DISCRETE CHOICE MODELS WITH MINIMAL VARIATION OF ALTERNATIVE-SPECIFIC VARIABLES

Gerd Ronning

Econometric Reviews, 2002, vol. 21, issue 1, 135-146

Abstract: The paper states conditions for minimal variation within the explanatory variables such that the maximum likelihood estimate of the coefficient vector in the discrete choice logit model is unique. Special emphasis is given to the case that (almost) all individuals observe the same set of alternative-specific explanatory variables. The aspect of 'experimental design' in discrete choice models is discussed.
