Abstract
As an additional consumer choice model, this paper suggests using the Scobit model, which includes a skewness parameter, to accommodate a more general structure of marginal effects in the context of binary choice behavior. It is empirically confirmed that the Scobit model outperforms the widely used binary logit model.
