This study focuses on the comparison of the choice based multinomial logit model and status based
ordered logit model, which are widely used when the dependent variable is categorical with more than two
levels. To do this, a survey data is used on the interest of individuals in politics in Turkey and ten countries that
are members of the European Union. After determining the true model, it is clarified that the interest of
individuals living in countries that are members of the European Union in politics remarkably differs from that
of in Turkey. Additionally, significant individual characteristics on the tendency to politics are also given along
with their marginal effect on the relative risk ratios.
Key words: IIA assumption , interest in politics, multinomial logit model, ordered logit model, parallel slopes assumption, ,
