Uncovering the Influence of Commuters’ Perception on the Reliability Ratio by Carlos Carrion, David Levinson

“…The dominant method for measuring values of travel time savings (VOT) and values of travel time reliability (VOR) is discrete choice modeling. Studies using revealed preference have tended to use travel times measured by devices such as loop detectors, and thus the perception error of travelers has been largely ignored. …”

The Role of Employment Subcenters in Residential Location Decisions by Eun Joo Cho, Daniel Rodriguez, Yan Song

“…In this paper we employ Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, a polycentric city with 10 employment subcenters, as a case study to explore the role of employment subcenters in determining residential location decisions. We estimate discrete choice models of residential location decisions: conditional logit models and heteroscedastic logit models with both the full choice set and sampled choices. …”

Effect of the Introduction of High-speed Trains on Consumer Welfare by BAEK, JI SUN

“…Based on the estimated demand model for travel which incorporates consumer’s heterogeneous preferences for travel schedules into the standard discrete-choice model, I separately evaluate the impact from adding high-speed trains and that from changes in train schedules. …”

A review of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms used for modeling travel mode choice by Juan D. Pineda-Jaramillo

“…Then, these different methodologies used by researchers for modeling travel mode choice are collected and compared with the Multinomial Logit Model (MNL) which is the most commonly-used discrete choice model. Finally, the characterization of ML algorithms is discussed and Random Forest (RF), a variant of Decision Tree algorithms, is presented as the best methodology for modeling travel mode choice.…”

Posterior average effects by Bonhomme, S, Weidner, M

“…Economists are often interested in estimating averages with respect to distributions of unobservables, such as moments of individual fixed-effects, or average partial effects in discrete choice models. For such quantities, we propose and study posterior average effects (PAE), where the average is computed conditional on the sample, in the spirit of empirical Bayes and shrinkage methods. …”

Analysis of heterogeneity in the preferences of wine consumption by M. Carolina Rodríguez-Donate, Margarita E. Romero-Rodríguez, Víctor J. Cano-Fernández, Ginés Guirao-Pérez
