This paper characterizes the logit model with menu dependent variance. The characterization follows from two conditions: independent log-odds and log-odds monotonicity. Independent log-odds says the change to log-odds across different menus is independent of the alternatives used to compare...

Although typically overlooked, many purchase datasets exhibit a high incidence of products with zero sales. We propose a new estimator for the Random-Coefficients Logit demand system for purchase datasets with zero-valued market shares. The identification of the demand parameters is based on a...

This paper examines the usefulness of logit regression in forecasting the consumer bankruptcy of households using an imbalanced dataset. The research on consumer bankruptcy prediction is of paramount importance as it aims to build statistical models that can identify consumers in a difficult...

We propose a cross-nested logit (CNL) approach to address the question of how people revise their migration decisions when facing changes in the global environment. Compared with the popular logit model, the CNL allows for more sophisticated substitution patterns between destinations. Using...
