Response latencies provide information about consumers' choice behavior in a conjoint choice experiment. The authors use filtered response latencies to scale the covariance matrix of a multinomial probit model and show that this leads to better model fit and holdout predictions, even if the...

Conjoint choice designs are frequently applied in practice, and often a base alternative is added to the design. When such a 'no-choice' base alternative is present in conjoint choice experiments a constant term should be added to the design ('X'-) matrix with attribute dummies when effects type...

In market segmentation, one distinguishes homogeneous groups of customers who can be targeted in the same manner because they have similar needs and preferences. In 1956, Smith defined: "Market segmentation involves viewing a heterogeneous market as a number of smaller homogeneous markets, in...

We define sources of heterogeneity in consumer utility functions related to individual differences in response tendencies, drivers of utility, form of the consumer utility function, perceptions of attributes, stated expendencies, and stochasticity. A variety of alternative modeling approaches...

Canonical models of rational choice fail to account for many forms of motivated adaptive behaviors, specifically in domains such as food selections. To describe behavior in such emotion- and reward-laden scenarios, researchers have proposed dual-process models that posit competition between a...
