Passenger airline choice behavior for domestic short-haul travel in South Korea

Jung, Se-Yeon; Yoo, Kwang-Eui - In: Journal of Air Transport Management 38 (2014) C, pp. 43-47

When the Seoul-Busan line of South Korea's high-speed rail system, dubbed the Korea Train Express (KTX), entered service in November 2010, it was expected that this line would compete with air transport services for short-haul domestic journeys. Therefore this is a study about passengers' choice...

Preference endogeneity in discrete choice models

Vij, Akshay; Walker, Joan L. - In: Transportation Research Part B: Methodological 64 (2014) C, pp. 90-105

preferences can reasonably be assumed to be stable. We build on Latent Class Choice Models (LCCMs) to allow for preference … ignore the impact of alternative attributes, which usually enter the class-specific choice models, on class membership. In … this paper we introduce LCCMs with feedback from the class-specific choice models to the class membership model through the …

Migrants’ Choice of Remittance Channel: Do General Payment Habits Play a Role?

Kosse, Anneke; Vermeulen, Robert - In: World Development 62 (2014) C, pp. 213-227

This paper investigates the determinants in migrants’ choice of payment channel when transferring money to relatives abroad. We analyze survey results on 501 migrants in the Netherlands, identifying five remittance channels: bank, money transfer operator, in-cash transfers via informal...

Family ties: occupational responses to cope with a household income shock

Baldini, Massimo; Torricelli, Costanza; Brancati, Maria … - Dipartimento di Economia "Marco Biagi", Università … - 2014

In this paper we analyse household members’ reactions in case of unforeseen negative income shocks due to a transition into unemployment and/or into income support. More specifically, we estimate the impact of an income loss suffered by one household member on the probability that another...

Do consumer perceptions matter in measuring choice variety and variety seeking?

Desai, Kalpesh Kaushik; Trivedi, Minakshi - In: Journal of Business Research 67 (2014) 1, pp. 2786-2792

This research marries scanner panel choice data of consumers in single member households to their survey-based perception data and draws upon behavioral and modeling research to contribute to the variety seeking literature. It presents a new consumer-based measure of choice variety based on...

Travel demand forecasts improved by using cross-sectional data from multiple time points

Sanko, Nobuhiro - In: Transportation 41 (2014) 4, pp. 673-695

Forecasts of travel demand are often based on data from the most recent time point, even when cross-sectional data is available from multiple time points. This is because forecasting models with similar contexts have higher transferability, and the context of the most recent time point is...

A stochastic model for assessing the utility of chance

Bose, Sudip - In: Statistics & Probability Letters 93 (2014) C, pp. 72-77

We consider the problem of assessing the utility of chance. One approach is based on offering a decision maker a choice between receiving a fixed chance and a gamble. We investigate theoretical properties of a class of models for the probability of preference of the gamble. We point out an...

Predicting recessions with a composite real-time dynamic probit model

Proaño, Christian R.; Theobald, Thomas - In: International Journal of Forecasting 30 (2014) 4, pp. 898-917

In this paper we propose a composite indicator for real-time recession forecasting based on alternative dynamic probit models. For this purpose, we use a large set of monthly macroeconomic and financial leading indicators from the German and US economies. Alternative dynamic probit regressions...

Income taxation, labour supply and housework: A discrete choice model for French couples

Kabátek, Jan; van Soest, Arthur; Stancanelli, Elena - In: Labour Economics 27 (2014) C, pp. 30-43

Earlier studies suggest that income taxation may affect not only labour supply but also domestic work. Here we investigate the impact of income taxation on partners' labour supply and housework, using data for France that taxes incomes of married couples jointly. We estimate a household utility...
