Discrete Choice

چکیده
Classical consumer theory assumes that products are infinitely divisible and consumers may purchase fractional quantities as dictated by their preferences and budget sets. However,for many goods and services individuals purchase only a few and sometimes at most one. Thus classical models of discrete choice in economics were developed to extend consumer choice theory to model demand of discrete goods.

The First Discrete Choice Experiment On Usage of Bypassing Agents in Hemophilic Patients in Iran
Background: Bleeding events in hemophilic patients with inhibitors are managed by bypassing agents. Currently available agents in Iran are recombinant activated factor VII (rfVIIa; Aryogen, Aryoseven) and Feiba (factor eight inhibitor bypassing agent). No standardized and accurate assay is currently available for monitoring the effectiveness of bypassing agents. We suggested that history of the...
متن کاملOn Rank-Ordered Nested Multinomial Logit Model and D-Optimal Design for this Model
In contrast to the classical discrete choice experiment, the respondent in a rank-order discrete choice experiment, is asked to rank a number of alternatives instead of the preferred one. In this paper, we study the information matrix of a rank order nested multinomial logit model (RO.NMNL) and introduce local D-optimality criterion, then we obtain Locally D-optimal design for RO.NMNL models in...
متن کاملProbit and nested logit models based on fuzzy measure
Inspired by the interactive discrete choice logit models [Aggarwal, 2019], this paper presents the advanced families of discrete choice models, such as nested logit, mixed logit, and probit models to consider the interaction among the attributes. Besides the DM's attitudinal character is also taken into consideration in the computation of choice probabilities. The proposed choice models make us...
متن کاملUsing Discrete Choice Experiment to Determine Willingness to Pay for Medicine Interferon-Beta by Multiple Sclerosis Patients
This study explores the effects of Interferon-β characteristics such as country of origin, injection frequency and method, monthly cost, efficacy, and side effects on multiple-sclerosis patients’ willingness to pay. For this purpose, MS patients with a history of using Interferon-β were studied from the three major Isfahan MS centers. Choice sets were designed with a combination of attributes a...

The present study evaluates the effect of some of the most important variables affecting the preferences of bank loan applicants, based on the discrete choice test method. Initially, the variables and their levels were identified after consultation with banking experts and the required information was collected through a questionnaire. The results show that any increase in interest rates, inten...
متن کاملDeveloping attributes and levels for a discrete choice experiment on basic health insurance in Iran
Background: Nonmarket stated preferences valuation, especially discrete choice experiments (DCEs), is one of the commonly used techniques in the health sector. The primary purpose of this approach is to help select attributes and attributes-levels that are able to properly describe health care products or services. This study aimed at developing attributes and attributes-levels for basic health...
