Consumer Search And Switching Behavior: Evidence From The Credit Card Industry
… empirically investigates and analyzes consumers' behavior in the credit card market. Specifically, it investigates the underlying determinants of consumers' choices regarding switching credit-card balances. To estimate the likelihood that consumers switch credit cards, two logit models are …

Explaining consumers' channel-switching behavior using the theory of planned behavior
The study was exploratory and examined channel-switching behavior using Theory of Planned Behavior in three retail channels (i.e. brick-and-mortar stores, catalogs, and the Internet). The theory assumes that individual attitudes and beliefs, along with subjective norms and control factors will lead …

Resistive Switching Behavior in Low-K Dielectric Compatible with CMOS Back End Process
… assessing a possible co-integration of resistive switching (RS) cells with current BEOL technology. In particular, the issue is whether RS can be realized with porous dielectrics, and if so, what is the electrical characterization of porous low-k/Cu interconnect-RS devices with varying percentages …

Resistance switching of electrodeposited cuprous oxide
<p>In this work, the resistance switching behavior of electrodeposited cuprous oxide (Cu<sub>2</sub>O) thin films in Au/Cu<sub>2</sub>O/top electrode (Pt, Au-Pd, Al) cells was studied. After an initial FORMING process, the fabricated cells show reversible switching between a low resistance state …

Incorporating Perceptions, Learning Trends, Latent Classes, and Personality Traits in the Modeling of Driver Heterogeneity in Route Choice Behavior
Driver heterogeneity in travel behavior has repeatedly been cited in the literature as a limitation that needs to be addressed. In this work, driver heterogeneity is addressed from four different perspectives. First, driver heterogeneity is addressed by models of driver perceptions of travel …
