''The Outside Good Bias in Logit Models of Demand with Aggregate Data''
( 2013, Vol. 33 No.1 )
 
 
The logit model is the most popular tool for estimating demand in differentiated products markets. However, in its aggregate version, practitioners have to “guess” the size outside good. We propose a way to remove the bias created by an inaccurate guess in simpler versions of the model.
 
 
Keywords: Logit model, demand estimation, outside good, differentiated products
