st: Formal question: multinomial logit vs separate classical logit

Hi everyone.

I am estimating a multinomial logit model with 4 categories (consider that reference category is #4).

My question is: If I estimate 4 separate binomial logit models:

P(Y=1) when the reference category is #4
P(Y=2) when the reference category is #4
P(Y=3) when the reference category is #4

Formally it can be assured that P_hat(Y=4)=P_hat(Y=1)-P_hat(Y=2)-P_hat(Y=3)? Or it is a wrong specification?

Best,
Raquel
