Swiss metropolitan areas are comprised of a system of communities with considerable fiscal autonomy. This study investigates how the income tax differentials across communities in an urban area affect the households` location decisions. Data from the urban agglomeration of Basel for the year...

We attempt to provide insights into how heterogeneity has been and can be addressed in choice modeling. In doing so, we … deal with three topics: Models of heterogeneity, Methods of estimation and Substantive issues. In describing models we … focus on discrete versus continuous representations of heterogeneity. With respect to estimation we contrast Markov Chain …

Factors affecting the adoption of crop insurance, forward contracting, and spreading sales areanalyzed using multivariate and multinomial probit approaches that account for simultaneousadoption and/or correlation among the three risk management adoption decisions. Our empiricalresults suggest...

Engineers and product designers have developed sophisticated models to predict the technical performance of their designs, yet they seldom quantify how performance affects the desirability of the resulting products to consumers. Without this information, managers have difficulty judging which...

It has been suggested that the nature of the task within a multi-attribute multi-alternative choice experiment may be sufficiently complex to make it difficult for individuals to develop response strategies to strategically bias their answers. This experiment tested that hypothesis by setting...

Most empirical models of consumer choice assume that the decision-maker assesses all alternatives and information in a perfect information processing sense. The complexity of the choice environment, the ability of the individual to make complex decisions and the effect of choice context on the...
