We apply our framework to scanner data on cola sales, where we show estimated demand curves can be upward sloping if zero market shares are not accommodated properly. ...
Our CES demand estimation framework can accommodate zero predicted and observed market shares by conceptually separating the whether-to-buy decision and how-much-to-buy decision. ...
Nesting the Homogeneous and Random Coefficient Logit Models of Demand We show that the predicted quantity market share expressions of the homogeneous and random coefficient logit models of demand can be ...

The main challenge in estimating the model is to find "the mean product quality" that equates the model predicted market shares to real market shares. ...
This paper provides details of the computational algorithm of Berry and Pakes (2005) for estimating the pure characteristics demand model. ...
While the market share equation in BLP predicts non-zero market shares for arbitrary parameter values and any distributions of the random coefficient, the market share equation in the PCM may predict zero ...

IO economists often estimate demand for differentiated products using data sets with a small number of large markets. ...
The reason is that product characteristic instruments achieve identification through correlation with markups, and, depending on the model of demand, the supply side can constrain markups to converge to ...

Estimating demand with the 'wrong' model yields varying degrees of bias in estimated elasticities, but the logit model can yield unbiased estimates for a certain size ofthe assumed market potential. ...
Merger simulations confirm the key importance of market potential in logit estimation suggesting that a discrete choice model may be preferable even when the discreteness ofthe purchase decision is questionable ...

Random utility models are often used to model traveler mode choice behavior in the demand analysis of a transit system. ...
In practice, however, often observed or published attribute values (e.g., fare) rather than perceived attribute values are used to estimate the utility. ...
When the bias is zero and the variation is small, it is approximately the choice probability given by the logit model with the true attribute values. ...
