Abstract
We obtain simple and intuitive expressions for the information matrix test for the multinomial logit model that resemble a multivariate heteroskedasticity test à la White (1980) applied to the conditionally demeaned value of the outer product of the generalised residuals.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
