This paper develops a methodology to uncover consumer preferences from a discrete-choice demand model of product differentiation using plant-level data. When prices and quantities are observed, the appropriate strategy for estimating such model is well developed. However, most plant-level data...

During the last two decades, the discrete-choice modelling of labour supply decisions has become increasingly popular, starting with Aaberge et al. (1995) and van Soest (1995). Within the literature adopting this approach there are however two potentially important issues that are worthwhile...

This paper revisits two conventional beliefs of environmental nonmarket valuation and examines their weaknesses and a new opportunity. The two beliefs are that willingness to pay (WTP) is an appropriate measure of non-market behaviour and that exogenous variables are relevant predictors of WTP...

The purpose of this paper is to present an airport and access mode choice model based on discrete choice theory. In particular, a nested logit-model approach is employed and alternatives are based on so-called "airport categories", which were formed from a demand-oriented point of view. For this...

In dynamic discrete choice analysis, controlling for unobserved heterogeneity is an important issue, and finite mixture models provide flexible ways to account for unobserved heterogeneity. This paper studies nonparametric identifiability of type probabilities and type-specific component...

This paper aims to build and empirically evaluate a discrete choice model of merger remedies as a basis for policy analysis. The database consists of 229 merger cases accepted in Phase I or Phase II of the European merger process between 1990 and 2005. We focus on the following question: Which...

This paper develops a stated choice experiment design which is used to build up the survey forms for the estimation of a binary logit model for urban travel demand. The model is estimated with a pilot survey, from which are calculated the values of travel time savings and the value of waiting...

We discuss how to test consistently the specification of an ordereddiscrete choice model. Two approaches are considered: tests based onconditional moment restrictions and tests based on comparisons betweenparametric and nonparametric estimations. Following these approaches,various statistics are...
