Empirical Models of Consumer Behavior
综述了现代实证产业组织中常用的消费者行为模型,重点讨论了多阶段预算方法和离散选择模型,并概述了估计问题和扩展方向。
Models of consumer behavior play a key role in modern empirical industrial organization. In this review, I survey some of the models used in this literature. In particular, I discuss two commonly used demand systems: multistage budgeting approaches and discrete choice models. I motivate their use and highlight some key modeling assumptions. I next briefly discuss key issues of estimation and conclude by summarizing some extensions.
