The paper exploits finite mixture (latent class) models to account for consumer heterogeneity in estimating the effect of coinsurance rate on the demand for health care. The parametric analysis employs a two-part model, a Tobit model, and generalized linear models with latent classes. The...

This paper describes lclogit, a Stata module for estimating a discrete mixture or latent class logit model via the EM algorithm.

This paper extends Ito et al. (2010) to reveal whether altruism is an underlying motive of the behavioral thresholds. We also investigate the influence of environmental concern as one of the underlying motives of them. Applying contingent valuation (CV) methods, we conducted a stated preference...
