[Limdep Nlogit List] Question about degenerate nests

[Ho Quoc Chinh]

Hi Shane Martin,

Yes for your question. IV of degenerate brach = 1 so putting variable  
in utility function at branch level is same as in alternative (twig)  
level. In other words, just define U function at lowest level, ie.  
alternative.
