7 LV MNC MRM MNLC IIA Int Est Tests End MNC MRM Multinomial Choice (among unordered alternatives) Types of data Chooser: individual who chooses among several alternatives Choice: alternatives / options faced by the chooser Three types of models: Models for choice based on chooser-specific data How do the chooser characteristics affect choice among alternatives? regressors vary across choosers (individuals) Models for choice based on choice-specific data How do the characteristics or features of various alternatives affect individuals choice among them? regressors vary across alternatives Models for choice based on chooser-specific and choice-specific data

Pr(Y i = 1) = Pr(Y 1i > Y ji j = 2,..., J) = Pr(Y 1i Y ji > 0 j = 2,..., J) = Pr(β 1 X i + u 1i (β j X i + u ji ) > 0 j = 2,..., J) = Pr((β 1 β j )X i > u ji u 1i j = 2,..., J) Under the assumption that the random utility (u.. ) independently and identically follows an extreme value distribution [CDF: F(u ji ) = e e u ji ] the difference of two random variables (e.g., u ji u 1i ) logistic distribution (leading to a logit model)

20 LV MNC MRM MNLC IIA Int Est Tests End MRM6 MNLM2 MNLM2B MNLM3 MRM5A MRM5B MN Pros and Cons of Multinomial Logit Recall Random utility of choice j (u j. ) is different in each of J equations MNL model assumes errors in the different equations are uncorrelated with one another: a strong assumption which implies the assumption: choice probabilities satisfy Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives (IIA) property
21 LV MNC MRM MNLC IIA Int Est Tests End MRM6 MNLM2 MNLM2B MNLM3 MRM5A MRM5B MN Pros and Cons of Multinomial Logit Implication of IIA in Multinomial Logit Consider ratio of probabilities of 2 choices j, and k: Pr(Y i = j X i ) Pr(Y i = k X i ) = e X i β j 1+ J s=1 ex i β s e X i β k 1+ J s=1 ex i β s = ex i β j e X i β k = e X i (β j β k ) Implying: when choosing between the two options, other options (other than j and k) do not matter Pr(Y i = j X i ) Pr(Y i = 0 X i ) = ex i βj e X i 0 = ex i β j
22 LV MNC MRM MNLC IIA Int Est Tests End IIA1 IIA2 IIA3 IIA4 MNLM3 Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives Transportation Example Suppose: initially, a commuter has choice between car (Y = 0) or public transport (Y = 1) IIA property relates to odds ratio: Pr(Y =1) Pr(Y =0) IIA This odds ratio will be the same, regardless of what the other options are Pr(Y =1) e.g., suppose, initially, Pr(Y =0) = 1 Commuter equally likely to take the car or public transport Must be Pr(Y = 1) = Pr(Y = 0) = 0.5
23 LV MNC MRM MNLC IIA Int Est Tests End IIA1 IIA2 IIA3 IIA4 MNLM3 Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives Example where IIA is satisfied Now suppose a bicycle lane constructed: commuters can cycle to work (Y = 2 an option) IIA : Addition of new alternative does not alter the fact that Pr(Y =1) Pr(Y =0) = 1 Reasonable? Possibly yes, in this case e.g., if 20% of commuters start cycling, and these cyclists drawn equally from other two options Could end up with Pr(Y = 2) = 0.2 and Pr(Y = 1) = Pr(Y = 0) = 0.40 This still implies Pr(Y =1) Pr(Y =0) = 1: IIA satisfied
24 LV MNC MRM MNLC IIA Int Est Tests End IIA1 IIA2 IIA3 IIA4 MNLM3 Red Bus-Blue Bus Problem Example where IIA is not satisfied Original choice is between car (Y = 0) or a Red Bus (Y = 1) Pr(Y =1) Suppose Pr(Y = 0) = Pr(Y = 1) = 1/2, thus Pr(Y =0) = 1: equally likely to take car or bus Company paints half the buses Blue: a new option Blue Bus virtually identical to Red. The new option leaves you just as likely choose car (choice between Red bus and Car not independent of introduction of Blue bus) Implying Pr(Y = 0) = 0.5 and Pr(Y = 1) = Pr(Y = 2) = 0.25 Blue Bus option implies by new option Violates IIA; Not allowed for by MN Logit Pr(Y =1) Pr(Y =0) =.5: Odds ratio changed
25 LV MNC MRM MNLC IIA Int Est Tests End IIA1 IIA2 IIA3 IIA4 MNLM3 Is IIA reasonable? Depends on your empirical application. Sometimes it is reasonable, but other times not There are extensions of multinomial logit models (not covered in this course) that do not have restrictive IIA property Nested logit model and mixed logit model All alternatives are computationally more demanding
26 LV MNC MRM MNLC IIA Int Est Tests End IIA1 IIA2 IIA3 IIA4 MNLM3 Multinomial Probit Models Pros and Cons These errors in different equations could be correlated with one another (some choices are more similar than others?) e.g., If choice between 3 options, there are two regressions involving utility differences Y1i and Y2i Multivariate Normal distribution allows for corr(u 1i, u 2i ) 0 Multivariate Normal distribution leads to Multinomial Probit, which is flexible But number of correlations = J (J 1)/2: may grow large MN Probit is computation intensive in estimating all correlations: typically used only if number of options relatively small (say, 3) We do not pursue MN probit in this course
