A Simultaneous Logit Model of the Dual-Earner Retirement Decision
… and public policy. A theoretical optimization model is developed of the dual-earner retirement decision. The model determines the optimal ages of retirement for both husband and wife. The decision is made a function of economic variables, health and control variables.

The demand for health care services in Nigeria : a nested logit model
The main aim of this study is to understand better the factors that influence the health care demand decisions of Nigerian households. The achievement of this objective involves the estimation of the parameters of the demand for health care services in order to understand the nature of health care …

Determinants of financial inclusion among the youth in Namibia: A logit model analysis
… Namibia Financial Inclusion Survey (NFIS). A Logit model is employed to examine the determinants and barriers of financial inclusion, whereas a descriptive analysis is utilized to explore their macro-level differences. The overall results of the model showed that there is a positive …

Bayesian Calibration for Logit Model Microsimulations: Case for PECAS SD in San Diego
… method for incorporating new information into a model while still respecting existing knowledge. One application of Bayesian inference is the calibration of models that are controlled by a large number of parameters, but where the data usable for calibration is incomplete or unreliable. …

Analysis Of Various Car-truck Crash Types Based On Ges And Fars Crash Databases Using Mutlinomial And Binary Logit Model
… and rear-end collisions. The nominal multinomial logit model and logistic regression models were utilized for this analysis. Divided section, alcohol involvement, adverse weather conditions, dark lighting condition and old age of drivers had a significant effect on the car-truck crashes and were …

Development of a High-Speed Rail Model to Study Current and Future High-Speed Rail Corridors in the United States
A model that can be used to analyze both current and future high-speed rail corridors is presented in this work. This model has been integrated into the Transportation Systems Analysis Model (TSAM). The TSAM is a model used to predict travel demand between any two locations in the United States, at …

Flexible Modellierung kategorialer Responsevariablen
Multicategorical regression models are an established tool in statistical data analysis. The present thesis extends common parametric regression models for nominal and ordinal responses to more flexible nonparametric approaches. In order to obtain a flexible form of the functional effects of …

Three Essays on Choice -Based Estimations of the Economic Benefits of Contaminated Site Cleanup
… The first approach uses the standard conditional logit model. We integrate the market transaction data ex ante into the choice data which results in more realistic choice sets and avoids the problem of perfect collinearity in market data. The second approach focuses on the role of both observed …

The diffusion of health information technology: practice characteristics and competition as drivers of adoption
… and has a place in the empirical tests of these models. The two major hypotheses tested in the paper are that the probability of adopting HIT increases with the number of physicians working at the clinic and if the clinic is part of a chain of clinics, and that it also increases with increased …

Empirical study on the motivations of bidders' second tender offer contests
… tender offer attempt are examined. A multinomial logit model is used to examine the rationales for bidders attempting a second acquisition. The results are consistent with the management entrenchment and the convergence-of-interest hypotheses. Also, a binary logit model is applied to examine the …

Developing advanced econometric frameworks for modeling multidimensional choices : an application to integrated land-use activity based model framework
… the activity-based framework by focusing on the modeling of choices that are influenced by land-use and travel environment attributes. An accurate characterization of activity-travel patterns requires explicit consideration of the land-use and travel environment (referred to as travel environment …

Mode Choice Modeling Using Artificial Neural Networks
… goal of this thesis is to develop mode choice models using artificial neural networks and compare the results with traditional mode choice models like the multinomial logit model and linear regression method. The data used for this modeling is extracted from the American Travel Survey data. …

An analysis of nine-ending pricing
… In this paper I first develop a theoretical model of the effect of such prices on sales and review the empirical literature on the topic. Then I use a data set from an online experiment run by Lau (2000) to conduct an empirical study of the effect. Analysis with a logit model indicates that …

Housing tenure choice in Scotland: an empirical study of the 1996 Scottish house condition survey
… tenure decision behaviour, two simulation models with different structures are developed. The first tenure choice model contains a simple one-level choice set. A multinomial logit model is employed to estimate three choice alternatives: owner-occupation, social renting and private renting. …
