Estimation of Household Brand-size Choice Models For Spaghetti Products with Scanner Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The A.C. Nielson household scanner panel is used to analyze factors affecting brand-size choices for spaghetti. These data link product purchases, which are scanned, with household demographics and market information on the store where purchased. A multinominal logit model and a nested logit model are specified and estimated. In addition to the effects of inventory and brand loyalty, the most interesting results relate to the price elasticities of choice probabilities. These elasticities are much more elastic than those found in traditional food demand analysis. Different brands and sizes of spaghetti products on the same supermarket shelf are very close substitutes for the consumer.

A Nested Logit Model of Coffee Purchase
On a shopping trip to a supermarket a customer may purchase a product in a given category and, if so, buys a particular brand. A previous paper by the authors models the brand choice part of this process. A multinomial logit model describes the selection of brand and size given that the customer makes a category purchase. Explanatory variables include store actions, such as price and promotion,...
متن کاملA State Duration Model for Brand Choice and Inter-Purchase Time
A new approach for analyzing state duration data in brand-choice studies is explored. This approach not only incorporates the correlation among repeated purchases for a subject, it also models the purchase timing and the brand decision jointly. The former is accomplished by applying transition model approaches from longitudinal studies while the latter is done by conditioning on the brand choic...
متن کاملProduct Line Management as Dynamic, Attribute-level Competition
Product lines are composed of SKUs from the same manufacturer which compete directly with one another. Understanding how consumers choose among numerous alternatives of brand, size and format is complicated by the multitude of possibilities among which they can switch over time. We approach this problem in terms of dynamic attribute satiation: that households seek out specific attributes over t...
متن کاملBeyond the Endogeneity Bias: The Effect of Unmeasured Brand Characteristics on Household-Level Brand Choice Models
W investigate the role of potential weekly brand-specific characteristics that influence consumer choices, but are unobserved or unmeasurable by the researcher. We use an empirical approach, based on the estimation methods used for standard random coefficients logit models, to account for the presence of such unobserved attributes. Using household scanner panel data, we find evidence that ignor...
متن کاملMarket segmentation by maximum likelihood clustering using choice elasticities
We determine market segments by clustering households on the basis of their average choice elasticities across purchases and brands w.r.t. price, sales promotion and brand loyalty. The cluster analysis technique used is a maximum likelihood method which allows varying size and orientation and assumes constant volume. Elasticities originate from choice models with alternatively linear and nonlin...
