After years of stagnancy, PLS path modeling has recently attracted renewed interest from applied researchers in marketing. At the same time, the availability of software alternatives to Lohmöllers LVPLS package has considerably increased (PLS-Graph, PLS-GUI, SPAD-PLS, SmartPLS). To help the...

Many researchers seem to be unsure about how to specify formative measurement models in software programs like LISREL or AMOS and to establish identification of the corresponding structural equation model. In order to make identification easier, a new, mainly graphicallyoriented approach is...

In this paper we estimate and empirically test different behavioral theories of consumer reference price formation. Two major theories are proposed to model the reference price reaction: assimilation contrast theory and prospect theory. We assume that different consumer segments will use...

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...
