Standard and shuffled Halton sequences in a mixed logit model
Staus, Alexander - 2008
Modeling consumer choice in different areas has lead to an increase use of discrete choice models. Probit or Multinomial Logit Models are often the base of further empirical research of consumer choice. In some of these models the equations to solve have no closed-form expression. They include...

Nonparametric welfare analysis for discrete choice : levels and differences of individual and social welfare
Capéau, Bart; De Sadeleer, Liebrecht; Maes, Sebastiaan; … - 2021
Empirical welfare analyses often impose stringent parametric assumptions on individuals' preferences and neglect … unobserved preference heterogeneity. In this paper, we develop a framework to conduct individual and social welfare analysis for … discrete choice that does not suffer from these drawbacks.

Forecasting adoption of ultra-low-emission vehicles using the GHK simulator and Bayes estimates of a multinomial probit model
Daziano, Ricardo A.; Achtnicht, Martin - 2012
In this paper we use Bayes estimates of a multinomial probit model with fully flexible substitution patterns to forecast consumer response to ultra-low-emission vehicles. In this empirical application of the probit Gibbs sampler, we use stated-preference data on vehicle choice from a...

Accounting for uncertainty in willingness to pay for environmental benefits
Daziano, Ricardo A.; Achtnicht, Martin - 2013
Previous literature on the distribution of willingness to pay has focused on its heterogeneity distribution without addressing exact interval estimation. In this paper we derive and analyze Bayesian confidence sets for quantifying uncertainty in the determination of willingness to pay for carbon...
