constraining betas with mlogit package
I don't know the answer in general, but for the specific constraint of two coefficients being the same, I would assume that you should create a new covariate which is the sum of the two individual ones and fit this single combined covariate instead of the two separate ones.

I have been using the mlogit package but can't seem to figure out how to make constraints on the beta coefficients. For example, I would like to force that two of my beta's are equal to each other. Thanks in advance. Jonah
