A Discussion of “Using Angler Characteristics and Attitudinal Data to Identify Environmental Preference Classes: A Latent-Class Model”
Provencher, Bill; Moore, Rebecca - In: Environmental & Resource Economics 34 (2006) 1, pp. 117-124
In the current issue of Environmental and Resource Economics, Morey et al. (2006) discuss a new approach to using attitudinal data in latent class modeling. We compare this approach with the one taken in Boxall and Adamowicz (2002), in the context of a discrete choice, random utility framework...

Accommodating taste heterogeneity in railway passenger choice models based on internet booking data
Hetrakul, Pratt; Cirillo, Cinzia - In: Journal of choice modelling 6 (2013) C, pp. 1-16
This paper presents an application of advanced econometric techniques to railway passenger choices in the context of revenue management. Three modeling approaches; multinomial logit, latent class, and mixed logit models are applied to ticket purchase timing decisions and to three market...

Management of school locations allowing for free school choice
Haase, Knut; Müller, Sven - In: Omega 41 (2013) 5, pp. 847-855
Nearly without exception, we find in literature (school) location models with exogenously given demand. Indeed, we know from a large number of empirical studies that this assumption is unrealistic. Therefore, we propose a discrete location model for school network planning with free school...

Investigating farmers' preferences for the design of agri-environment schemes: a choice experiment approach
Ruto, Eric; Garrod, Guy - In: Journal of Environmental Planning and Management 52 (2009) 5, pp. 631-647
In recent decades agri-environment schemes (AES) have become an increasingly important tool for policy makers aiming to reverse the post-war decline in environmental quality on agricultural land. The voluntary nature of such schemes means that the decision of farmers to participate is central to...

The perceived unreliability of rank-ordered data: an econometric origin and implications.
Yoo, Hong il - School of Economics, UNSW Business School - 2012
The problem of unstable coecients in the rank-ordered logit model has been traditionally interpreted as a sign that survey respondents fail to provide reliable ranking responses. This paper shows that the problem may embody the inherent sensitivity of the model to stochastic misspecification...
