Economic analysis of discrete choice. With applications on the demand for housing in the U.S. and West-Germany (Q1099919)

This book is a treatise on empirical microeconomics: it describes the econometric theory of qualitative choice models and the empirical practice of modeling consumer demand for a heterogeneous commodity, housing. Accordingly, the book has two parts. The first part gives a self-contained survey of discrete choice models with emphasis on nested and related multinomial logit models. The second part concentrates on three substantive questions about housing demand and how they can be answered using discrete choice models.
