Accounting for Heterogeneity in the Variance of Unobserved Effects in Mixed Logit Models
Published 2005-01-01The growing popularity of mixed logit to obtain estimates of willingness to pay (WTP) has focussed on the distribution of the random parameters and the possibility of estimating deep parameters to account for heterogeneity ...Working Paper -
The implications of Willingness to Pay of Respondents Ignoring Specific Attributes
Published 2005-01-01Individuals processing the information in a stated choice experiment are typically assumed to evaluate each and every attribute offered within and between alternatives, and to choose their most preferred alternative. ...Working Paper -
The implications of respondent information processing rules on preference revelation in stated choice experiments
Published 2005-01-01Individual’s process the information in stated choice (SC) experiments in many different ways. In order to accommodate decisions rules that are used in processing information, there is good sense in conditioning the ...Working Paper -
Auction Settings Impacts on the Performance of Truckload Transportation Marketplaces
Published 2005-03-01This paper compares the performance of different sequential auction settings for the procurement of truckload services. In this environment, demands arrive randomly over time and are described by pick up, delivery locations ...Working Paper -
Efficient Designs for Alternative Specific Choice Experiments
Published 2005-03-01In the past, research on the construction of efficient designs for stated choice experiments has been limited to unlabeled experiments with generic parameter estimates. In this paper, by deriving the asymptotic (co)variance ...Working Paper -
Efficiency and Sample Size Requirements for Stated Choice Studies
Published 2005-04-01Stated choice (SC) experiments represent the dominant data paradigm in the study of behavioral responses of individuals, households as well as other organizations, yet little is known about the sample size requirements for ...Working Paper -
Recovering costs through price and service differentiation: Accounting for exogenous information on attribute processing strategies in airline choice
Published 2005-06-01The entry of low cost airlines has thrown out a challenge to all airlines to find ways of attracting passengers, through a mix of fare discounting, greater frequency, improved flight times and no-frill’s levels of on-board ...Working Paper -
Evaluation of Different Approaches for the Truckload Vehicle Routing Problem in a Competitive Environment
Published 2005-06-01The principal focus of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of different approaches for the vehicle routing problem in a competitive environment (VRPCE). This paper focuses on the study of the VRPCE in a marketplace ...Working Paper -
Sample optimality in the design of stated choice experiments
Published 2005-06-01Stated choice (SC) experiments represent the dominant data paradigm in the study of behavioral responses of individuals, households as well as other organizations, yet little is known about the sample size requirements for ...Working Paper -
The implications of respondent attribute processing rules and experimental design on WTP in stated choice experiments
Published 2005-06-01Individual’s process the information in stated choice (SC) experiments in many different ways. In order to accommodate decisions rules that are used in processing information, there is good sense in conditioning the ...Working Paper -
Designing a Procedure to Undertake Long Term Evaluation of the Effects of TravelSmart Interventions
Published 2005-06-01As part of the program of strategies to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases in Australia, the ACT, Queensland, South Australian, and Victorian governments have joined together to undertake a program of voluntary travel ...Working Paper -
The implications on willingness to pay of a stochastic treatment of attribute processing in stated choice studies
Published 2005-06-01Individuals processing the information in a stated choice experiment are asked to evaluate a set of attributes offered and to choose their most preferred alternative. It has always been thought that some attributes are not ...Working Paper -
The signs of the times: Imposing a globally signed condition on willingness to pay distributions
Published 2005-07-01A feature of recent developments in choice models that enable estimation of the distribution of willingness to pay (WTP), is that the sign of the distribution can change over the range. Behaviourally this often makes little ...Working Paper -
Accounting for Exogenous Information on Decision Maker Processing Strategies in Models of Discrete Choice: Attribute Exclusion Strategies in Airline Choice
Published 2005-08-01In this paper, we examine the impact of individual specific information processing strategies (IPS) on the inclusion/exclusion of attributes on the parameter estimates and behavioural outputs of models of discrete choice. ...Working Paper -
Community Perceptions of ‘TravelSmart’ Behaviour in South Australia
Published 2005-08-01Insights from psychology and marketing have recently led to an alternative to information-based behaviour change campaigns, known as community-based social marketing. The key to this approach is the identification of ...Working Paper -
Competitive tendering as a contracting mechanism for subsidising transportation: The bus experience
Published 2005-09-01Competitive tendering (CT) is a popular mechanism for the provision of transport services where a major objective is the containment of the cost to government of service provision. Although the primary focus is recognised ...Working Paper -
Road User Charging: The Global Relevance of Recent Developments in the United Kingdom
Published 2005-09-01Charging users of the roads for the costs they impose on the system is not new. Economists have been promoting its virtues for as long as arguments about economic efficiency have been in print. What is different today is ...Working Paper -
