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 …

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. …

Neural-embedded discrete choice models
… of integrating theory-based discrete choice models (DCM) and data-driven neural networks. How to benefit from the strengths of both is the overarching question. I propose hybrid structures and strategies to flexibly represent taste heterogeneity, reduce potential biases, and improve …

Disaggregate Probabilistic Models to Predict Trip Generation Propensities and Mode Choice Behaviour
Travel behaviour models serve as important tools to understand what factors affect trip generation and preferred mode of travel in different contexts. These models can be used to quantify the impacts and assess the consequences of development plans and policy actions. Growing populations and 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 …

Inequality and Civic Participation in the Rocky Mountain West: Missoula, MT
… adapts the standard identity-augmented utility model to demonstrate that, given the choice to participate or not to participate, increases in inequality can decrease overall group participation, and an individual's distance from the characteristics of an ideal community member can also decrease …

Demand and Capacity Problems in the Next Generation Air Transportation System
… and electric propulsion technologies. A Multinomial Logit Model was developed to estimate the mode choice behavior of commuters between Zip vehicle, auto and transit in seven metropolitan areas in the United States. The results showed that the Out-of-Vehicle travel time plays an important …

An Economic Comparison of High Tunnel and Open-Field Strawberry Production in Southeastern Virginia and A Joint Estimation of Acreage Planted to U.S. Major Crops
… second study, chapter 3, we used a fractional multinomial logit model to estimate the effect of crop revenues, input costs, and fuel ethanol production on the joint acreages planted to eight U.S major crops (barley, corn, cotton, peanuts, rice, sorghum, soybeans, and wheat). We found a positive …

Empirical study on the motivations of bidders' second tender offer contests
… another 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 …

An analysis of the determinants of the banking crises in the Southern African Development Community (SADC)
… of a banking crisis was estimated using a multinomial logit model on real GDP growth level, terms of trade, the ratio of private domestic credit to GDP and the ratio of M2 to foreign exchange reserves. The model was estimated for the pooled, non-systemic and systemic crises economies in …
