Binary logit model Logit example: individual choice between two cars I y = 1 if electric and y = 0 if regular I x is di erence in price, di erence in running cost per mile,... Binary logit model y i = 1 with probability Λ(x 0 i β) 0 with probability 1 Λ(x 0 i β) where Pr[y i = 1jx i, β] = Λ(x 0 i β) = ex0 i β 1 + e x0 i β. c A.

5 2. Binary logit Binary logit MLE Binary logit MLE We can write the density (probability mass function) as f (y i jx i, β) = Λ(xi 0 β) y i (1 Λ(xi 0 β)) 1 y i. The MLE maximizes ln L = N i=1 ln f (y i jx i, β) = i lnfλ(xi 0 β) y i (1 Λ(xi 0 β)) 1 y i g. Some algebra yields the rst-order conditions: N i=1(y i exp(xi 0 β)) = 0. c A.

Random Parameters Binary Logit in General Random parameters binary logit (continued) Compute f (y i jx i, β, Σ) by Monte Carlo integration bf (y i jx i, β, Σ) = 1 S S s=1 Λ(x 0 i β (s) i ) y i (1 Λ(x 0 i β (s) i )) 1 y i I uses s draws β (s) i, s = 1,..., S from φ(β i jβ, Σ) I note: at r th round of gradient method draw is from φ(β i jβ r, Σ r ) The ML estimator for binary outcome model maximizes ln L(β, Σ) = N i=1 ln f (y i jx i, β, Σ). The simulated maximum likelihood (SML) estimator maximizes ln L(β, Σ) = N i=1 ln bf (y i jx i, β, Σ) = N i=1 ln 1 S S s=1 Λ(xi 0 β (s) i ) y i (1 Λ(xi 0 β (s) i )) 1 y i = i fy i ln bp i + (1 y i ) ln(1 bp i )g; bp i = 1 S s Λ(xi 0 β (s) i ) Especially popular for multinomial data I then random parameters logit overcomes independence of irrelevant alternatives limitation of regular conditional logit. c A.

27 7. MSL in General 7. MSL in general Problem: MLE (with independent data over i) maximizes ln L(θ) = N i=1 ln f (y i jx i, θ). I but f (y i jx i, θ) does not have a closed form solution. I e.g. f (y i jx i, θ) = R g(y i jx i, θ 1, α)h(αjθ 2 )dα =? Solution: Maximum simulated likelihood (MSL) estimator maximizes ln bl(θ) = N i=1 ln bf (y i jx i, θ) I I bf (y i jx i, θ) is a simulated approxn. to f (y i jx i, θ) based on S draws e.g. f (y i jx i, θ) = S 1 S s=1 g(y i jx i, θ, α (s) ), α (s) are draws from h(α). MSLE consistent with the usual MLE asymptotic distribution if I bf () is an unbiased simulator and satis es other conditions given below I S!, N! and p N/S! 0 where S is number of simulations. I note that many draws S (to compute bf ()) are required. c A.

28 7. MSL in General MSL details MSL details Assumed properties of the simulator: I bf () is an unbiased simulator with: E[bf (y i jx i, θ)] = f (y i jx i, θ) I bf () is di erentiable in θ (or smooth simulator) so gradient methods can be used I the underlying draws to compute bf () are unchanged so no "chatter". MSL needs S! because simulator is nonetheless biased for ln f () E[bf ()] = f () ; E[ln bf ()] 6= ln f (). Variation: Method of simulated (MSM) estimator instead works with moment conditions that allow an unbiased simulator I bθ is a method of moments estimator that solves N i =1 m(y i jx i, θ) = 0. I Assume unbiased simulator such that E[ bm(y i jx i, θ)] = m(y i jx i, θ) I The MSM solves N i =1 bm(y i jx i, θ) = 0 F Consistent even for small S, though there is then e ciency loss. F When bm() is the frequency simulator V[bθ MSM ] = (1 + S 1 )V[ bθ MSL ]. c A.
