We analyse stated preference data over nursing jobs collected from two leading types of best-worst discrete choice experiments (DCEs): a traditional DCE involving choice over alternative jobs (BWL) and a newly-developed DCE where respondents choose best and worst job attributes (BWT). The latter...

We utilize the 2000 cohort of university graduates from the National Graduate Survey (NGS) to estimate the extent to which the choice of field of study is influenced by expected returns to those fields of study. The expected returns are based on earnings equations estimated from the earlier 1990...

In this thesis an algorithm (MLOPT) for mixed logit models is proposed. Mixed logit models are flexible discrete choice models, but their estimation with large datasets involves the solution of a nonlinear optimization problem with a high dimensional integral in the objective function, which is...

In this thesis, we study brand choice problem via the following three perspectives: a company's market share management, introduction of customers with different perspectives, and an analysis of an application domain which is illustrative of these issues. Our contributions following these...

This report presents a study whose objective is to explore how people deal with unexpected congestion during the pre-trip stage and how they might respond to Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS). Travelers' route, departure time and mode selection decisions were investigated through a...
