Abstract:
Strategic planning is not only necessary in today's global economy where markets are becoming more susceptible to international competition, it is vital. The foresight of market reactions can lead to a competitive advantage. Market share losses can be minimized (and market share gains maximized) with the knowledge obtained from primary marketing research involving a stated preference study to examine consumer behaviour. Before launching a new product or providing a service, discrete choice analysis can empower strategic planners, managers and marketers with a tool which aids in optimizing prod

Abstract:
This thesis contributes to the literature on the choice of transport mode for commuting trips, with special focus on the difference between urban and rural commuting in Scotland. The thesis begins by giving an overview of discrete choice theory and some empirical models consistent with this theory, before reviewing the literature on empirical applications of mode choice models for commuting trips. In the following, multinomial, nested and mixed logit models using data from a survey of commuters in the University of St Andrews are developed. The models are used to estimate aggregate mode-choice

New Zealand is internationally renowned for having some of the finest and most challenging trout fishing in the world.

Abstract:
The worldwide market for organic foods is growing fast, but New Zealand meat producers have been slow to respond. Specifically, New Zealand producers have little or no organic lamb products for export or domestic sale. Part of the reason for this hesitancy to meet demand with supply is that the nature of the demand and consumer willingness to pay for the product is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to investigate New Zealand organic food consumers’ attitudes towards organic food and production methods and to evaluate consumer willingness to pay for an organic lamb product.

In chapter 3, a game theoretic model shows that female choice will be strongly dependent upon whether the benefits are fixed, so that females receive the same fitness boost from a mating with a given male regardless of how many

The traditional approach to modelling public transport is labour intensive and requires many resources. The expensive nature of developing mode choice models can also act as a deterrent for developing a model.

The influence of diet on health is widely recognised and documented. Diet is a product of choices made by consumers and as such is influenced by a variety of factors. By understanding these influences it will be possible to design policies that are cost effective in delivering improvements in diets that are of public interest. This contributes to the gap in knowledge about the pattern of food purchasing behaviour among households in the United Kingdom and its links with the increasing prevalence of diet-related diseases (e.g. obesity).

This thesis provides further evidence in this debate by examining the existence of hypothetical bias in a transport-related SP experiment. Data for this thesis were sourced from a University of Sydney study exploring the effect of variable rate charging on motorist behaviour. The sample included 148 Sydney motorists who were recruited to take part in a 10-week GPS driving field study (Revealed Preference / RP data). In addition, participants were also

Abstract:
Discrete choice modelling has become the preferred empirical context to study individuals’ preferences and willingness to pay. Although the outcome is important in decision making, so is the process that individuals adopt to assist them in reaching a decision. Both should be considered when analysing individual behaviour as they represent jointly the endogeneity of choice. Traditional choice studies assume, in the main, a linear in the parameters additive in the attributes (LPAA) approach, where individuals are rational, take into account all the attributes and alternatives presented to them w

Abstract:
Transport is one of the basic needs of a functioning society. Unfortunately, transport also pollutes our cities and release greenhouses gases. Driverless technology is a technology predicted to disrupt the future transport system, and perhaps change how we travel from private cars to shared vehicles. This study focuses on the aspect of privately owned versus shared driverless vehicles, to create more knowledge of how the future transport system will look. A utility-based demand model is used to find the demand for private and shared transport when driverless vehicles are available. The utility
