Studies of college attrition typically assume that all attrition is permanent. We use data from the 1990/94 Beginning Postsecondary Survey to distinguish between long-term dropout and short-term stopout behavior in order to test that assumption. We find significant differences between those who...

Using Logistic Normal regressions, we model the price-setting behaviour for a large sample of Belgian consumer prices over the January 1989 - January 2001 period. Our results indicate that time-dependent features are very important, particularly an infinite mixture of Calvo pricing rules and...

The paper derives analytical transitions probabilities following an exogenous shock to the deterministic component in the conditional logit model. The solution draws on the postestimation distribution of the model's stochastic component, identified on the basis of a direct utility maximization...

We consider dynamic pricing and demand learning in a duopoly, both from the perspective where the firms compete against each other and from the perspective where the firms aim to collude to increase their revenues. We adopt the widely studied multinomial logit demand model and construct a...

The main objective of the study is to examine the determinants of urban housing choice in Debre Berhan town, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia. For this purpose, the study used both primary and secondary data. The data were obtained from 395 household heads selected from four kebeles. A...

This paper analyzes the socio-economic correlates of multiple child deprivations in Kenya using the 1993-2014 KDHS. Conventionally, child well-being is examined from the perspective of income poverty. However, numerous studies have argued that income is just one of the defining characteristics...

This study examines the impacts of multiple agricultural technology adoption on poverty in rural Amhara region, Ethiopia. The study is based on Ethiopian socio economic survey of 2015/16. A total of 656 farm households were included. The study employed Multinomial Logit model to identify the...

In this paper, we study a dynamic multinomial logit choice model with network effect (we call it the "dynamic model'' in short). In our model, a continuum of customers stay in a market for an infinite horizon. We adopt a random utility model to capture customer's valuation of each product in...
