In klassischen Wahlmodellen wird davon ausgegangen, dass sich ein beobachtetes Verhalten durch einen nicht näher spezifizierbaren Evaluationsprozess des beobachteten Individuums ergibt. Ist die Aufdeckung dieses Prozesses von Interesse, stoßen reine Wahlmodelle schnell an ihre methodischen...

Traditional choice models assume that observable behavior results from an unspecified evaluation process of the observed individual. When it comes to the revelation of this process mere choice models rapidly meet their boundaries, as psychological factors (e.g., consumers' perception or...

Integrated choice and latent variable (ICLV) models represent a promising new class of models which merge classic choice models with the structural equation approach (SEM) for latent variables. Despite their conceptual appeal, to date applications of ICLV models in marketing are still rare. The...

The following research is guided by the hypothesis that products chosen on a shopping trip in a supermarket can indicate the preference interdependenciesbetween different products or brands. The bundle chosen on the trip can be regarded as the result of a global utility function. More...

Context effects can have a major influence on brand choice behavior after the introduction ofa new product. Based on behavioral literature, several hypotheses about the effects of a newbrand on perception, preferences and choice behavior can be derived, but studies with realchoice data are still...

Due to its ability to allow and account for similarities between pairs of alternatives, the nested logit model is increasingly used in practical applications. However the fact that there are two different specifications of the nested logit model has not received adequate attention. The utility...

Numerous studies on the drivers of brand extension success [Aaker and Keller, 1990, Broniarczyk and Alba, 1994, Hem et al., 2003, Völckner and Sattler, 2006] found evidence that parent-brand characteristics and the fit between parent brand and transfer product are the main and most influential...

To explore how occurring critical incidents affect customer-brand relations, this study measures the impact on the basis of an online experiment. For this purpose, 1,122 usable responses are gathered considering the smartphone brands of Apple and Nokia as well as different scenarios. The...

This article evaluates the performance of structural equation models in validating measurement models for hypothetical constructs and deals with specific issues following from the way this methodology is typically applied in scale construction. In particular, controlling for various types of...
