Abstract
Multinomial logit discrete-choice models are now being used more frequently in sociological research, but often without appropriate attention to the central role played by the independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) property.

The IIA tests decisively reject the IIA property in the single/welfare/remarriage choice model.
