This paper focuses on the relevance of alternate discrete outcome frameworks for modeling driver injury severity. The study empirically compares the ordered response and unordered response models in the context of driver injury severity in traffic crashes. The alternative modeling approaches considered for the comparison exercise include: for the ordered response framework-ordered logit (OL), g...

Public preferences for sustainable land use policy instruments and the motivations behind such are important to make appropriate policies. Based on survey data (n = 309) from northeastern Somalia, we examined a set of relative no (i.e. current status quo) how cultural worldviews predict preferences. We used multinomial logit model analyze comparative evaluation choices due its interpretability ...

abstract according to official statistics, domestic production of edible oils provides only less than 10 percent of the country's consumption needs, and therefore every year a significant amount of crude and prepared edible oils and fats is imported to the country spending a considerable amount of foreign exchange. over the past years rapeseed, as a new product, has been implemented by a limite...

Numerous models of travel timing have been calibrated in the literature. Some treat time as a discrete variable using familiar discrete choice methods, while others have treated time in a continuous fashion. Both approaches offer distinct advantages. Here, a continuous logit model of work tour departure time choice is estimated, which offers the advantage of continuous-time response using a ran...

When valuing water resources using multiple site recreation data, it is typical to observe many corner solutions. We present as a benchmark a theoretical model of recreation choice when corners are present, and assess the degree to which several empirical specifications match the benchmark. As an illustration, we estimate and compare the repeated nested logit, a random parameters repeated neste...
