Linear probability models of the demand for attributes with an empirical application to estimating the preferences of legislators
Article Abstract:
The voting inclinations of legislators are not mainly based on their ideology. Voting choices are more often based on specific issues. An empirical model is formulated based on the given setting. Two ways justify the binary discrete choice model. One, it is a distinct characterization of a random-utility models category. Second, it acts as a distinct model of any discrete-preference model according to unobserved characteristics. The second model is more applicable in a wide range of groups in a given political economy.
