Dynamic discrete choice models usually require a general specification of unobserved heterogeneity. In this paper, we … with a multivariate normal distribution for the unobserved heterogeneity, the Bayesian MCMC estimator yields almost … assumptions which are consistent with economic theory, e.g. log-normally distributed consumption preferences, the Bayesian method …

We propose a new methodology for structural estimation of infinite horizon dynamic discrete choice models. We combine the Dynamic Programming (DP) solution algorithm with the Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm into a single algorithm that solves the DP problem and estimates the...

I formulate an econometric model of consumer learning and experimentation about new products in markets for packaged goods that nests alternative sources of dynamics. The model is estimated on household level scanner data of laundry detergent purchases, and the results suggest that consumers...

Endogeneity and correlated alternatives are major concerns to be addressed in travel behavior analysis. However, these … addressed endogeneity while allowing correlations between the choice alternatives. Meanwhile, the simulation also implied that …, even if the sample size is moderate. The proposed model will be a useful tool in disciplines in which both endogeneity and …
