The additive structure of utility in discrete choice models

Article Abstract:

A study evaluates a generalized discrete choice model with varying distributed utilities in spatial economics. Additive random utility characteristic of the model is shown by generating choice probabilities using distribution and additive cost. Alternatives and errors are distributed accordingly as defined by laws. Results reveal a logit model that can be generalized when defined by arbitrary laws.

Calculating fiscal impacts where spatial effects are present

Article Abstract:

The effect of spatial variables for policy prescriptions that are based on regression models is investigated. Results indicate that spatial effects have little significant impact on fiscal crime policies or their level of confidence. While the study has some limitations, the conclusion can be reasonably derived that the findings are widely applicable for fiscal policies outside of crime.
