This paper develops a model of individual decisionmaking in the presence of social
interactions when the number of available choices is finite. We show how a multinomial logit …

This paper provides an analysis of aggregate behavioral outcomes when individual utility
exhibits social interaction effects. We study generalized logistic models of individual choice …

One of the most popular individual choice models is the multinomial logit model (MLM). The
basic hypothesis of the MLM is that an individual chooses an alternative among a set of …

The classic problem of social choice is that of using individual preferences among social
alternatives to obtain social preferences, eg Arrow [1], or at least a social choice, eg …

We detail the basic theory for models of discrete choice. This encompasses methods of
estimation and analysis of models with discrete dependent variables. Entry level theory is …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the social choice theory. There is social choice
problems, which deals with methods of marshalling information, particularly those relating to …

THE social-choice literature has recently been extended in two directions. One has been to
investigate conditions other than single-peakedness 2 that are sufficient to assure transitivity …

This paper considers nonparametric identification in models with nonadditive
unobservables, where choices are either the dependent or the explanatory variables. For …

This paper develops the social choice foundations of a restriction that, in different guises, is
utilized in a number of economic models; illuminates the key features of these models; and …
