DOWNLOAD EBOOKTopics in this volume include Medicare reform, taxation and telecommunications, tax incentives for higher education, incentive effects of the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Social Security Earnings Test and the labor supply of older men, tax rate flexibility in consumption tax systems, fundamental tax reform and corporate finance, business transition issues in fundamental tax reform, and the effect of a consumption tax on the interest rate.This series presents recent research on the effects of taxation on economic performance and analyses of the effects of potential tax reforms. The research results appear in a form that is accessible to tax practitioners and policymakers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnobserved heterogeneity is comprehensively acknowledged as an important feature to be considered in discrete choice modeling. Over the last decade, there were abundant studies showing the great outperformance of capturing unobserved heterogeneity of Mixed-Mixed Logit(MM-MNL) models. However, most empirical researches still use mixed logit(MIXL) models or latent class(LC) models which introduced strong assumptions on distributions of marginal utility. In this dissertation, a Mixed-Mixed Logit model(MM-MNL) that assumes a non-parametric mixing distribution for marginal utility is discussed. Consequently, three empirical studies solving different transportation problems are introduced.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOriginally published in 1981. Discrete-choice modelling is an area of econometrics where significant advances have been made at the research level. This book presents an overview of these advances, explaining the theory underlying the model, and explores its various applications. It shows how operational choice models can be used, and how they are particularly useful for a better understanding of consumer demand theory. It discusses particular problems connected with the model and its use, and reports on the authors’ own empirical research. This is a comprehensive survey of research developments in discrete choice modelling and its applications.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis dissertation focuses on the identification and estimation of discrete choice models. In practice, if the error term is independent of the covariates and follows some known distribu- tion, the discrete choice model is usually estimated using some parametric estimator, such as Probit and Logit. However, when the distribution of the error is unknown, misspecification would in general cause the estimators inconsistent even if the independence between the covariates and the error still holds. The two chapters relax the assumptions on the error distribution in the discrete choice models and propose semiparametric estimators.
