This paper investigates the construction of moment conditions in discrete choice panel data with individual specific fixed effects. We describe how to systematically explore the existence of moment conditions that do not depend on the fixed effects, and we demonstrate how to construct them when...

Discrete variables that show a natural ordering across response levels are commonly analyzed based on data collected in surveys and in field observations. These variables follow a natural unimodal probability distribution, as the levels that are closer to the actual chosen level are more likely...

Researchers typically use rank ordered logit regression to analyze consumer preference data collected with Best-Worst Scaling (BWS) surveys. We propose a generalized rank ordered logit (GROL) model that accommodates scale and preference heterogeneity. Both the GROL and mixed rank ordered logit...

Endogeneity and correlated alternatives are major concerns to be addressed in travel behavior analysis. However, these issues have been rarely dealt with simultaneously in advanced discrete choice models. This study proposed a multinomial probit model that incorporates the instrumental variable...

Gender responsiveness is a crucial element in achieving inclusive economic and developmental growth of an economy. A gender-differentiated analysis in determining livelihood diversification strategies is, therefore, important for developing gender sensitive policies. The study examined and...
