Optimization and equilibrium problems with discrete choice models

Many transportation markets are characterized by oligopolistic competition. In these markets customers, suppliers and regulators make decisions that are influenced by the preferences and the decisions of all other agents. In particular, capturing and under ...

Appropriate Communal Open Spaces: Principle 6

Yves Pedrazzini, Lesslie Astrid Herrera Quiroz

Principle 6 stresses that an appropriate proportion, number, organization and equitable distribution of Communal Open Spaces are essential for the sustainability of any settlement on the long-term, and should consider cultural, social and environmental asp ...

Exploring the diversity of social preferences: Is a heterogeneous population evolutionarily stable under assortative matching?

Boris Thurm, Charles Chadi Ayoubi

Why do individuals make different decisions when confronted with similar choices? This paper investigates whether the answer lies in an evolutionary process. Our analysis builds on recent work in evolutionary game theory showing the superiority of a given ...

Revisiting the Route Choice Problem: A Modeling Framework Based on Mental Representations

Michel Bierlaire, Gunnar Flötteröd, Evanthia Kazagli

We present a new approach for modeling and analyzing route choice behavior. It is motivated by the need to reduce the complexity of the state-of-the-art choice models. It is inspired by the simplifications done by the travelers, using representations of th ...

Incentive Schemes for Participatory Sensing

Boi Faltings, Goran Radanovic

We consider a participatory sensing scenario where a group of private sensors observes the same phenomenon, such as air pollution. Since sensors need to be installed and maintained, owners of sensors are inclined to provide inaccurate or random data. We de ...

The economic performance of Swiss drinking water utilities

Andrea Baranzini, Anne-Kathrin Faust

This paper measures the performance in terms of costs of Swiss drinking water utilities accounting for environmental factors. We estimate a translog stochastic variable cost frontier using two different techniques on an unbalanced panel of 141 water distri ...

Revisiting reference point formation, gains-losses asymmetry and non-linear sensitivities with an emphasis on attribute specific treatment

Amanda Blomberg Stathopoulos

In contrast with expected utility theory, empirical findings indicate that decision-makers are sensitive to departures from reference points rather than states. Several tests of the reference-dependent preference framework have been carried out in experime ...

Dual Representation Of Monotone Convex Functions On L-0

Gregor Svindland

We study monotone convex functions psi : L-0 (Omega, F, P) -> (-infinity, infinity] and derive a dual representation as well as conditions that ensure the existence of a sigma-additive subgradient. The results are motivated by applications in economic agen ...

An analysis of the implicit choice set generation using the Constrained Multinomial Logit model

Michel Bierlaire, Gunnar Flötteröd, Ricardo Daniel Hurtubia González

Discrete choice models are defined conditional to the analyst's knowledge of the actual choice set. The common practice for many years has been to assume that individual-based choice sets can be deterministically generated on the basis of the choice contex ...
