We propose and describe a comprehensive theoretical framework that integrates choice models and structural equation models. Referred to as "structural choice modelling" the framework easily combines data from separate but related choice experiments. We describe the mathematical properties of the...

A generation of new models has been proposed to handle some complex human behaviors. These models account for the data ambiguity, and therefore extend the application field of the discrete choice modeling. The facial expression recognition (FER) is highly relevant in this context. We develop a...

Disagreement among researchers regarding types of optimal choice experiments is often best seen as resulting from differences in the set of assumptions researchers are willing to make about the underlying data generating process. Much of the current debate may have confused, rather than...

Poorly designed stated preference (SP) studies are subject to a number of well-known biases, but many of these biases can be minimized when they are anticipated ex ante and accommodated in the studyfs design or during data analysis. We identify another source of potential bias, which we call...

This paper details the development and application of a Stated Choice (SC) experiment designed to explore motorists sensitivities to a kilometre-based charging regime focused around crash-risk reduction. Responses are gathered through a SC experiment that pivots off actual driving behaviour...

This study makes two contributions to existing airport ground access mode choice models. The first is an assessment of travel time reliability on air passenger airport ground access mode choice decisions. Revealed preference questions were asked to determine the safety margin allowed for ground...

The cost attribute is of particular importance in discrete choice experiments, and this study is the first to explore the effect of a cost attribute on both forced and unforced choices. Patients' preferences for organisational characteristics in general practice in Denmark are elicited, and the...

We analyse Internet and telephone Stated Choice (SC) survey methods in the context of the Swedish value of time study 2008. In this study, extensive piloting and follow-up surveys were undertaken to assure high quality data. We use these data and data from the main survey to analyse properties...

The Internet offers enormous possibilities for surveys and experimental data collection, including randomised treatments, customisation, and interactivity. These capabilities are well suited to the implementation of choice modelling experiments. However, the implementation of web surveys is not...

In recent years there has been a re-focus on the valuation of a statistical life from the ex post or human capital method to an ex ante willingness to pay (WTP) approach. This is in part a recognition that we need to focus on establishing the amount, ex ante, that individuals are willing to pay...
