Sammanfattning	The Nested Logit model is a discrete choice framework that groups mutually exclusive alternatives into hierarchical nests, allowing correlated unobserved utilities within each nest while maintaining independence across nests. Introduced formally by Ben-Akiva and Lerman (1985) and grounded in McFadden's Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) theory, it extends the standard Multinomial Logit by relaxing the restrictive Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives assumption within predefined groups of similar alternatives.	The Mixed Logit model, introduced formally by McFadden and Train (2000) and elaborated in Train (2009), is a flexible discrete choice framework that allows preference parameters to vary randomly across decision-makers. By integrating standard logit probabilities over a mixing distribution of coefficients, it overcomes the restrictive independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) property and accommodates unobserved taste heterogeneity, panel data correlation, and complex substitution patterns across alternatives.	Multinomial logistic regression is a maximum-likelihood method for a nominal (unordered) dependent variable with more than two categories. Building on McFadden's 1974 treatment of qualitative choice, it gives each category its own set of coefficients relative to a reference category.
