Abstract
In a recent paper in this journal [Econ. Lett. 68 (2000) 113], Wojcik argue s that the nested logit "is likely to be superior" to demand specifications we and others have used in recent empirical work. We review the relevant m odels and their uses, consider her application, and find that her conclusio ns are incorrect. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
