在允许零选择概率的一般情形下,刻画了Luce选择规则(即多项logit模型),并基于此推导出实验设计在证伪、识别和预测三方面的含义。

Abstract

The Luce Choice Rule (or, equivalently, the multinomial logit model) is extensively used in economics and other fields. Classical characterizations rest on Luce's Choice Axiom, when all choice sets are available, and Luce's Product Rule in the case of binary choice. Yet, actual datasets typically consist neither of all choice sets nor all binary choice sets. We provide a characterization for the general case, allowing also for zero choice probabilities. Building upon this characterization, we derive implications for experimental design in terms of three criteria: falsification, identification, and prediction.
