Conditional, Structural and Unobserved Heterogeneity: three essays on preference heterogeneity in the design of financial incentives to increase weight loss program reach
… of preference heterogeneity in discrete choice models. The first essay uses a model of heterogeneity conditional on observed individual-specific characteristics to tailor financial incentives to enhance weight loss program participation among target demographics. Financial incentives in weight …

Farmer Preferences for Attributes of Conservation Agriculture in Eastern Uganda
… a choice experiment study are analyzed with a mixed logit model to determine farmers' willingness to pay for increases in maize yield, reductions in erosion, and reductions in land preparation labor requirements. It finds that farmers have a statistically significant willingness to pay for …

Willingness to Pay for Safer Bathing Water in Poland: A Discrete Choice Experiment linked to Benefit-Cost Analysis
… policy attributes, which was analysed using a mixed logit model in preference space to capture unobserved preference heterogeneity. We find that households valued both policy attributes positively, with diminishing marginal utility across their levels. WTP values for respondents classified as …

Using a Bayesian model for bankruptcy prediction : a comparative approach
… cycle on the accuracy of bankruptcy prediction models. Misclassification can result in erroneous predictions leading to prohibitive costs to firms, investors and the economy. To test the impact of the choice of cut-off points and sampling procedures, three bankruptcy prediction models are …

Residential Preference at Transit-oriented Development: A Visual Choice Experiment
… to elicit residential preference: a multinomial logit model, a mixed logit model, and a latent class model. The results indicated the presence of preference heterogeneity and the emergence of four lifestyle classes that could explain and predict residential preference patterns. People with …

Modeling airline passenger choice : passenger preference for schedule in the passenger origin-destination simulator (PODS)
This thesis examines how to model the choice of individual travelers among various possible travel alternatives in the airline industry. A review of the models used to represent that choice situation in the Passenger Origin-Destination Simulator (PODS) was undertaken for two reasons. First, the …

Price Volatility, Competitiveness, and Innovation in the South African Wine Industry
… (ii) estimation of the Galtonian regression model and (iii) estimation of the panel regression model. The findings reveal that all countries migrated to higher price points with variable degrees of success. As a result, South African wines were relatively less competitive than their rivals. …

Post-secondary Students' Travel Behavior through the Lens of Urban and Rural Contexts
… the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), to model multi-destination trip-based activity type choices and sequential departure time decisions. These models capture interdependencies across multi-destination trips, enabling a more realistic representation of student travel patterns in dense …

Demand for certified aflatoxin-free grains
… that the variables that are omitted from the model are independent random variables. This might not be true in our case; hence we use a mixed logit model for analysis since it does not require the IIA property and captures preference heterogeneity, being more appropriate for estimating the …

Three essays on stated choice experiments for nonmarket valuation of landslide protection
… risk reduction by applying Discrete Choice Modelling methodology. To address the current needs of local decision-makers, the investigation of the determinants of preference heterogeneity is the central theme of the research. The study is based on a panel choice dataset created from a …

Estimating Desirable Cattle Traits Using Latent Class and Mixed Logit Models: A Choice Modeling Application to the U.S. Grass-Fed Beef Industry
… examines the preferences for cattle traits using mixed logit and latent class models. Choice experiment data from a 2013 mail survey of 1,052 U.S. grass-fed beef producers were used. The findings indicate that grass-fed beef producers generally preferred lower-priced, heavy animals that were …
