Diploma Thesis: "Discrete Choice Modeling - Methode und betriebswirtschaftliche Anwendung"

  • Quantitative Research Methods

Understanding consumer needs is a crucial factor in developing and designing successful new products. Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are widely used to measure consumer preferences. Commonly used discrete choice model analyses (e.g., probit, logit and multinomial models) draw on the estimation of importance weights that apply to different attribute levels. But directly estimating the importance weights of the attributes as a whole, rather than of distinct attribute levels, is challenging. This research project substantiates the usefulness of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) for the analysis of stated preference data generated through choice experiments in discrete choice modeling.
