A test of the extreme value type I assumption in the bus engine replacement model

This note tests the assumption of dynamic discrete choice models that underlying utility shocks have an extreme value type I distribution. We find that extreme value type I shocks cannot be rejected in most specifications of the Rust (1987) bus engine replacement model.
