This paper investigates the performance – in terms of choice probabilities and correlations existing new specifications closed-form route models with flexible correlation patterns, namely Link Nested Logit (LNL), Paired Combinatorial (PCL) more recent Combination (CoNL) models. Following a consolidated track literature, Multinomial Probit (MNP) model by [1] are taken as targets. Laboratory expe...

abstractaccording to public choice theory, the features of the tax structure effect on voters' perceptions from the tax burden, so they pay more cost for public goods, lower than the estimate. in this study has been investigated the relationship between tax and public expenditures in the iranian economy during 1360-1390 based on public choice theory to examine the level of government spend...

Conjoint analysis is family of techniques that originated in psychology and later became popular in market research. The main objective of conjoint analysis is to measure an individual’s or a population’s preferences on a class options that can be described by parameters and their levels. We consider preference data obtained in choice based conjoint analysis studies, where one observes test per...

This paper discusses choice set generation and route choice model estimation for large-scale urban networks. Evaluating the effectiveness of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) requires accurate models of how drivers choose routes based on their awareness of the roadway network and their perceptions of travel time. Many of the route choice models presented in the literature pay little ...

Since the pioneering work by Daniel McFadden in the 1970s and 1980s (McFadden, 1973, 1981, 1982, 1984) discrete (multinomial) response models based on utility maximization have become an important tool of empirical researchers. A key feature of these models is the specification of utilities associated with the alternatives in terms of choice characteristics and individual preferences. Various g...

the key argument of this commentary is that patient choice has a broader meaning than suggested by consumerist choice models. in increasingly marketized health care systems with diversified and knowledge-based service arrangements, patients are continuously obliged to choose insurers, physicians or hospitals and treatments—whether they like it or not. however, health care users refer to a wide ...
