Learning structure in nested logit models
… is about developing an estimation procedure for nested logit models that optimizes over the nesting structure in addition to the model parameters. Current estimation practices require an a priori specification of a nesting structure. We formulate the problem of learning an optimal nesting …

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 …

Multiproduct Pricing Management and Design of New Service Products
… substitutable products under the general Nested Logit model and also consider the designing and pricing of new service products, e.g., flexible warranty and refundable warranty, under customers' strategic claim behavior. Chapter 2 considers firms that sell multiple differentiated …

Applications of Demand Estimation to the Child Care Market
… on the role of distance in child care choice. A nested logit model is estimated that simultaneously models the choice of individual provider and the choice between center-based and family providers. The results provide new evidence on the importance of proximity and the geographic scope of child …

Hedonic Valuation of Environmental Amenities and Issues of Model Selection
The nested logit model is applied to the Chicago housing data set, with the goal of valuing environmental amenities. Four alternative hierarchical nestings based on dwelling, neighborhood, and city attributes are considered, and a sampling rule satisfying McFadden's uniform conditioning property is …

Modeling preferences for innovative modes and services : a case study in Lisbon
… of innovative modes and services -- nested logit models and mixed logit models. The main attributes in the systematic utilities include natural logarithm of travel time and cost, schedule delay, size variables for unequal departure time intervals, and inertia to revealed preferences …

Tractable multi-product pricing under discrete choice models
… of the prices under the basic multinomial logit (MNL) demand model. Linear constraints can induce a non-convex feasible region. Nevertheless, we show how to efficiently solve the pricing problem under three important, more general families of demand models. Generalized attraction (GA) …

Pricing And Assortment Problems Under Correlated Product Evaluations
… than products from another subgroup. We use the Nested Logit (NL) model as a tool to capture correlated product evaluations. In the Nested Logit model, a customer follows a two-stage choice process where she first selects a product subgroup, followed by a specific product within that group. The …

Intercity travel demand : a utility-consistent simultaneous trip generation and mode choice model
… for intercity travel behavior leads to a nested logit/continuous choice model that is rigorously linked to the utility maximization theory. Compared to a traditional intercity travel demand model, the proposed model is utility consistent in that trip generation and mode choice models flow …

Negotiating the neighborhood : modeling the relationship between built environment and transit choice
… mode choice for work trips, multinomial and nested logit models have been estimated for work trips of people living in the Boston Metropolitn area. The analysis shows that mode choice primarily depends on trip attributes and household characteristics. Built environment factors are secondary …

Behaviorally-Informed Discrete Choice Models in Operations Management
… this formulation within the Multinomial Logit (MNL), Nested Logit (NL), and Mixed Multinomial Logit (MMNL) frameworks. The second study examines the joint pricing and assortment problem under the MMNL model with capacity constraints, accounting for heterogeneous price sensitivities across …

Network knowledge and route choice
… choice model specifications such as Multinomial Logit, C-Logit, Path Size Logit, Cross-Nested Logit and Logit Kernel Probit are evaluated. The exponential specification of the Path S ize term, using a large parameter value, offers a considerable improvement in fit over MNL, C -Logit and CNL. A …

Calibrating activity-based travel demand model system via microsimulation
… In this thesis, we focus on utility-maximizing nested logit activity-based model systems and calibrating count based aggregate statistics like OD flows, mode shares, activity shares and so on. We formulate the calibration problem as a simulation-based optimization problem and propose a …

Essays on the Impact of Antitrust Regulation on Corporate Mergers and Divestitures
… on the government approval by applying a nested logit model. My results support the findings of Eckbo (1985), Coate, Higgins, and McChesney (1990), and Coate (2005) that mergers that are expected to increase market concentration are more likely to be challenged by the government. …

Opportunities for short-sea shipping in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region: evidence based on discrete choice modelling
… maker. Furthermore, the results of the exploded logit model reveal that the top five modal attributes that shippers consider most important are: reliability, transport cost, risk of damage, frequency of service and transit time. These results were subsequently employed to inform the shipper and …

Integrated network-based models for evaluating and optimizing the impact of electric vehicles on the transportation system
… duration of stay and route, which integrates the nested-Logit discrete choice model, is formulated as a variational inequality problem. An extension from this equilibrium model is the network design model to determine an optimal charging infrastructure capacity and pricing. The objective is to …

Customer Choice Models in Emerging Retail Markets
… search and subscription by applying a cross-nested logit framework that correlates the contents in the box with the products available at the stores. We find that if a preview of the box is available, for customers with intermediate values of the search cost, it may be optimal to include a …

Modeling airline passenger choice : passenger preference for schedule in the passenger origin-destination simulator (PODS)
… of more flexible models like mixed logit models. Second, the increasing competition of low-cost new entrant airlines has put great pressure on pricing practices of traditional network carriers. This increasing competition has also compelled these carriers to focus on their strengths, …
