It is usual to estimate willingness-to-pay in discrete choice models through Logit models -or their expanded versions. Nevertheless, these models have very restrictive distributional assumptions. This paper is intended to examine the above-mentioned issue and to propose an alternative estimation using non-parametric techniques (through Simple Index Models). Furthermore, this paper introduces an empirical application of willingness- to-pay for improved subway travel times in the City of Buenos Aires.

This paper analyzes and synthesizes the fundamentals of discrete choice models. This paper alsodiscusses the basic concept and theory underlying the econometrics of discrete choice, specific choicemodels, estimation method, model building and tests, and applications of discrete choice models. Thiswork highlights the relationship between economic theory and discrete choice models: how economictheory contributes to choice modeling and vice versa. Keywords: Discrete choice models; Random utility maximization; Decision makers; Utility function;Model formulation
