Modelling consumer behaviour in a profile design using a three equation generalised Tobit model
(1997)
We propose the application of a three equation generalised Tobit to model different aspects of consumer behaviour in a full profile study design. The model takes into account that consumer behaviour can be measured by preference scores, purchase probability and purchase volume. We aim to avoid the drawbacks of traditional conjoint analysis where the latter two aspects are disregarded. Starting from a full profile design, we develop the appropriate questionnaire layout, the econometric model, the likelihood function and tests. The model is applied in a market entry study for an innovative medicament after a reform of Germany´s public health system in 1993-1994. JEL Classification: C35,M31,L65
Sharing of substructures like subterms and subcontexts in terms is a common method for space-efficient representation of terms, which allows for example to represent exponentially large terms in polynomial space, or to represent terms with iterated substructures in a compact form. We present singleton tree grammars as a general formalism for the treatment of sharing in terms. Singleton tree grammars (STG) are recursion-free context-free tree grammars without alternatives for non-terminals and at most unary second-order nonterminals. STGs generalize Plandowski's singleton context free grammars to terms (trees). We show that the test, whether two different nonterminals in an STG generate the same term can be done in polynomial time, which implies that the equality test of terms with shared terms and contexts, where composition of contexts is permitted, can be done in polynomial time in the size of the representation. This will allow polynomial-time algorithms for terms exploiting sharing. We hope that this technique will lead to improved upper complexity bounds for variants of second order unification algorithms, in particular for variants of context unification and bounded second order unification.
Im Rahmen einer Zusammenschau werden im hier vorliegenden Bericht landwirtschaftliche und den ländlichen Raum betreffende Entwicklungen eingeschätzt und, in Verbindung hiermit, künftige Umweltentlastungen sowie mögliche neue Umweltgefährdungen dargestellt. Im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtungen steht die Nahrungsmittelproduktion in Deutschland, wobei die Integration der deutschen Landwirtschaft in die europäische Landwirtschaft und die Weltwirtschaft und die hiermit einhergehenden äußeren Einflüsse einbezogen werden. Der Zeithorizont der Betrachtungen ist der Zeitraum bis 2030. ...
