...Saul D. Hoffman; Greg J. Duncan Abstract Although discrete-choice statistical techniques have been used with increasing regularity in demographic analyses, Mcl’adden’s conditional logit model is less well known and seldom used. Conditional logit models are appropriate when the choice among...

.... To investigate this, we apply discrete-choice models to longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics linked to neighborhood-level data from multiple population censuses to compare the neighborhood choices of mixed-race couples with children to those of monoracial couples with children, while...

... include more than a decade’s worth of residential histories for households with children that are linked to census, geographic information system, and educational administrative data. We construct discrete-choice models of neighborhood selection that account for heterogeneity among household types...

... segregation over time. This study unifies these two strands of inquiry by connecting the sorting of households across neighborhoods to aggregate changes in segregation levels. Using discrete choice models of intrametropolitan mobility and restricted decennial census and American Community Survey data for 1960...

... of the current neighborhood and the selection of a new destination neighborhood. Analyses of out-mobility reveal that parents and young adult children living near each other as well as low-income adult children living near parents are especially deterred from moving. Discrete-choice models of neighborhood...

... Association of America 2016 2016 Ethnic neighborhood Residential segregation Discrete choice model Neighborhood patterns of immigrants and minorities have drawn much attention from social scientists because racial and ethnic group boundaries are manifested through residential segregation...

... intentions. The issue of selectivity is compounded by the issue of endogeneity. As is widely acknowledged, endogeneity often arises in discrete-choice models, precluding a consistent estimation of the models' parameters. Here, because both the decision whether to migrate and the decision whether...

... of geography in which territory is divided into discrete units. Types of movement are defined in terms of these units, the most important distinction being that between local mobility and migration. Here we examine explicitly the implications of the choice of the migration-defining boundary in the U.S. over...

...J. H. Pollard Abstract A discrete-time two-sex stochastic population model is developed. All entities (single males, single females, or couples) are grouped according to their ages, and during a unit time interval, each entity has a choice of several outcomes with fixed conditional probabilities...

... that are both feasible and known to the decision-maker (Ben-Akiva and Lerman 1985 :33). McFadden’s model is specified conditional on a given choice set; the process through which the choice set is generated is antecedent to model specification. Standard discrete choice models used in social science...

... formation. We examine the timing of entry into a first union (a married or a cohabiting union), the choice between marriage and cohabitation, and the timing of first marriage. Data from eight nationally representative surveys conducted in the Netherlands are pooled ( N = 39,777), with respondents being born...

Instead, using the mixed multinomial logit specification, a discrete-choice model is specified that de- scribes the probability...
