Intraurban variations of destination choice : a case study of the nearest store choice
A dichotomous destination choice model is developed to explain the type of consumers and the situation in which they choose the nearest supermarket. The model is calibrated for three different areas in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada to examine intraurban
Modelling spatial choice : a review and synthesis in a migration context
Internal migration ; Interregional migration ; Model ; Origin-destination ; Probability ; Spatial analysis ; Spatial choice ; Spatial competition ; Utility fonction
This review draws upon empirical application of spatial choice models to interregional migration and identifies the main research issues. It is argued that some of the widely used models suffer from problems derived from their development
in aspatial choice contexts. Evidence from empirical tests of these spatial choice modesl suggests that analysts engaged in interregional migration modelling risk model misspecification if they ignore the peculiarities of spatial choice.
Modeling constrained choice behaviour in regulated housing markets by means of discrete choice experiments and universal logit models: an application to the residential choice behaviour of divorcees
The AA. aim to propose and demonstrate how discrete choice experiments and logit models may be used to estimate choice models. They wish to test whether preferences of divorcees are invariant with differential access to housing-market segments
. The findings support the idea that access to particular segments affects the preference for other segments differentially. The choice model outperforms the multinomial logit model at conventional probability levels.
An empirical evaluation of parameter sensitivity to choice set definition in shopping destination choice models
Decision ; Florida ; Location ; Market area ; Probability ; Retail trade ; Sensitivity analysis ; Shopping trip choice ; Spatial choice ; Store ; United States of America
The subject of the analysis is the choice of supermarkets for major grocery shopping. Evidence is presented through the use of descriptive statistics from a sample of consumers and through several store-choice model calibrations that chain image
is an important determinant of store choice. The effects of people's income and race on their store selection are studied.
A review of recent advances in decompositional preference and choice models
The AA. summarize the state-of-art in decompositional multiattribute decision models and conjoint choice simulation techniques| and they describe several recent advances in solving the problems and limitations.
