An Empirical Test of a Joint Model of Residential Mobility and Housing Choice

摘要: A nested multinomial logit (MNL) model is used to estimate the joint choice of moving and housing selection. The coefficients are derived from a sequential application standard MNL using maximum likelihood. dwelling type followed by neighborhood finally or staying. models estimated for three household categories nine neighborhoods with data Rand Corporation Housing Allowance Supply Experiment. dwelling-type fits reasonably well shows expected significant impact space on choice. has smaller less successful. alternative specific constants play much larger role in determining probabilities neighborhoods. final mobility exhibits good fit all categories. results provide overall support modelling approach outlined this paper.
