We provide a simple identity that decomposes a product moment of multivariate normal random variables as a sum of various products of univariate moments of one of the random variables and multivariate moments of the other random variables. The new identity allows for much faster computation of...

The random utility model (RUM, McFadden and Richter (1990)) has been the standard tool to describe the behavior of a population of decision makers. RUM assumes that decision makers behave as if they maximize a rational preference over a choice set. This assumption may fail when consideration of...
