Consumer Choice Among Durables: A Random Utility Model and an Application to Brazilian Households
Abstract
dc:descriptionConsumer choice among durables cannot be satisfactorily accommodated by models directly derived from the conventional, deterministic model. This study proposes an axiomatic and probabilistic framework for modelling consumer choice preferences among durables in the market and discusses its theoretical properties. The related qualitative econometric model is specified, the empirically testable hypotheses implied by the proposed framework are discussed, as are the empirical properties of the measures relevant to behavior in the market for durables.
