Dynamic discrete choice (DDC) models, also known as discrete choice models of dynamic programming, model an agent's choices over discrete options that have future implications. Rather than assuming observed choices are the result of static utility maximization, observed choices in DDC models are assumed to result from ...

Dynamic discrete choice The expectation over state transitions is accomplished by taking the integral over this probability distribution. It is possible to decompose formula_21 into deterministic and stochastic components: where formula_33 is the value to choosing alternative formula_11 at time formula_12 and is writte...

Dynamic discrete choice The most common methods used to estimate the structural parameters are maximum likelihood estimation and method of simulated moments. Aside from estimation methods, there are also solution methods. Different solution methods can be employed due to complexity of the problem. These can be divided ...

Dynamic discrete choice Despite numerous contenders, the NFXP maximum likelihood estimator remains the leading estimation method for Markov decision models. An alternative to full-solution methods is non-solution methods. In this case, the researcher can estimate the structural parameters without having to fully solve ...

Dynamic discrete choice Let formula_48 denote the odometer reading (mileage) at period formula_12, formula_50 cost of operating the bus which depends on the vector of parameters formula_51, formula_52 cost of replacing the engine, and formula_53 the discount factor. Then the per-period utility is given by where formula...

Dynamic discrete choice The contraction mapping above can be solved numerically for the fixed point formula_69 that yields choice probabilities formula_78 for any given value of formula_51. The log-likelihood function can then be formulated as where formula_81 and formula_82 represent data on state variables (odometer ...
