Most applications of discrete choice models in transportation now utilise a random coefficient specification, such as mixed logit, to represent taste heterogeneity. However, little is known about the ability of these models to capture the heterogeneity in finite samples (as opposed to asymptotically). Also, due to the computational intensity of the standard estimation procedures, several altern...

This paper links representative enrollee panel data to health plan data on (i) prices, (ii) service quality, and (iii) non-essential benefits for the German statutory multi-payer market and the years 2007 to 2010. We first show that, although heavy federal regulation ensures a simple choice architecture, the majority of health plans are dominated—even when considering four non-price attributes....

Female Labor Market Transitions in Europe Using micro panel data, labor market transitions are analyzed for the EU-member states by cumulative year-by-year transition probabilities. As female (non-)employment patterns changed more dramatically than male employment in past decades, the analyses mainly refer to female labor supply. In search for important determinants of these transitions, six EU...

MARKET RESPONSE MEASUREMENT USING THE MULTINOMIAL, MULTIATTRIBUTE LOGIT CHOICE MODEL by Peter Manning Guadagni Submitted to the Alfred P. Sloan School of Management on May 15, 1980, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Universal Product Code (UPC) scanning is the key to a new marketing data source. Unfortunately, most existing marketing models do not h...

â â â â â â â â â â â â  abstract: â  as a result of recent developments, global economic centre of gravity has slide to asia-pacific region. it is predicted that asia-pacific countries will take place at the first row in global trade and nearly a half of the total trade will intensify in this region at the year 2030. on the other hand, the region covers countries from different levels of devel...

Background Improving efficiency of health sector is of particular importance in all countries. To reach this end, it is paramount to measure the efficiency. On the other hand, there are many factors that affect the efficiency of health systems. This study aimed to measure the Technical Efficiency (TE) of health systems in Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) countries during 2004–10 and to d...

Panel data is commonly used for the numerical response variables, while literature forecasting categorical variables on panel structure still challenging to find. Forecasting important because it helpful government policies. This study aimed forecast multiclass or structure. The proposed models were autoregressive multinomial logit and C5.0. strategy applied so that two could be was add effects...

the presence of bubbles in the markets and its formation has been regarded by economists and they have been looking to develop methods that can be recognized by using appropriate method for the formation of bubbles. in this paper, first, the formation of bubbles is tested using the new unit root test known as phillips test (generalized sup adf test) for 50 companies in the tehran stock exchange...

We estimate revealed willingness to pay for animal welfare using a panel mixed logit model. We utilize a unique household level panel, combining real purchases with survey data on perceived public and private good attributes of different types of eggs. We estimate willingness to pay for organic eggs controlling for trust in a positive connection between the public good animal welfare and the or...

in this paper we investigate the effects of broadband infrastructure providing high speed internet, on economic growth in developing countries. we have used two different broadband measures to classify developing countries into two groups for the period 1999-2008. by using logistic diffusion model and iv approach, a nonlinear diffusion model is specified. differences in ceiling of diffusion cur...
