Discrete-Choice Model with Generalized Additive Utility Network
Discrete-choice models are a powerful framework for analyzing decision-making behavior to provide valuable insights for policymakers and businesses. Multinomial logit models (MNLs) with linear utility functions have been used in practice because they are ease to use and interpretable. Recently, MNLs with neural networks (e.g., ASU-DNN) have been developed, and they have achieved higher prediction accuracy in behavior choice than classical MNLs. However, these models lack interpretability owing to complex structures. We developed utility functions with a novel neural-network architecture based on generalized additive models, named generalized additive utility network ( GAUNet), for discrete-choice models. We evaluated the performance of the MNL with GAUNet using the trip survey data collected in Tokyo. Our models were comparable to ASU-DNN in accuracy and exhibited improved interpretability compared to previous models.

Exogenous Consideration and Extended Random Utility
In a consideration set model, an individual maximizes utility among the considered alternatives. I relate a consideration set additive random utility model to classic discrete choice and the extended additive random util…

We propose a tractable semiparametric estimation method for structural dynamic discrete choice models. The distribution of additive utility shocks in the proposed framework is modeled by location-scale mixtures of extrem…
Discrete Choice ModelsRemarks on Utility in Repeated Bets
The use of von Neumann -- Morgenstern utility is examined in the context of multiple choices between lotteries. Different conclusions are reached if the choices are simultaneous or sequential. It is demonstrated that uti…
Existence of a Competitive Equilibrium with Substitutes, with Applications to Matching and Discrete Choice Models
We propose new results for the existence and uniqueness of a general nonparametric and nonseparable competitive equilibrium with substitutes. These results ensure the invertibility of a general competitive system. The ex…
