“…Researchers in the fields of transport, marketing and environmental economics are increasingly acknowledging this by treating these psychological constructs as latent variables in their models. For some examples of applications across different fields, see Hess and Beharry-Borg (2012); Abou-Zeid et al (2010); Daly et al (2012); Daziano and Bolduc (2011).…”

A growing number of studies across different fields is making use of a new class of choice models, labelled variably as hybrid model structures or integrated choice and latent variable models, in incorporating the role of attitudes in decision making. To date, this technique has not been used in health economics. The present paper looks at the formation of such attitudes and their role in patients' treatment choices in the context of low back pain. We use data stated choice data collected from a sample of just under 300 respondents referred to a regional spine centre in Denmark. We show how the hybrid model structure is able to make a link between attitudinal questions and treatment choices, and also explains the variation of these attitudes across key socio-demographic groups. However, we also show how, despite their growing popularity, the key findings of the model, net of a greater insight into the drivers of attitudes and small gains in efficiency, are no different from standard approaches which remain much easier to apply. In the present application, we also show how only a small share of the heterogeneity can be linked to the attitudinal construct.

“…At the same time, results from model 3 shows that the LI has different impacts across car alternatives. We found that individuals with a strong habit to use a car (any type of engine technology) have a preference for buying LPGVs and CNGVs instead of GVs and 6 A Bayesian approach (Daziano & Bolduc, 2013) and a novel approach proposed by Bhat and Dubey (2014) allow simultaneous estimation with complex specifications. However, software is either not freely available or less tested than the maximum simulated methods.…”

“…The majority of these studies (e.g., Bunch, Bradley, Golob, Kitamura, & Occhiuzzo, 1993;Batley, Knight, & Toner, 2004;Horne, Jaccard, & Tiedemann, 2005;Potoglou & Kanaroglou, 2007;Mabit & Fosgerau, 2011;Achtnicht, 2012;Daziano & Bolduc, 2013;Hackbarth & Madlener, 2013) analyzed the effect of car features (such as purchase price, driving range, fuel costs) and charging location (Batley et al, 2004;Bockarjova, Rietveld, & Knockaert, 2013;Ito, Takeuchi, & Managi, 2013;Jensen, Cherchi, Mabit, & Ortuzar, 2014) on the AFV's demand. Some recent studies have also explored the role of individuals' attitudes, mainly toward environment sensitivity (Daziano & Chiew, 2012;Daziano & Bolduc, 2013;Jensen, Cherchi, & Mabit, 2013;Glerum, Stankovikj, Themans, & Bierlaire, 2013) but also toward car features (Mabit & Fosgerau 2011), in their propensity to buy AFVs.…”

Because of the recent improvements in the electrification process of cars, several types of alternative fuel vehicles are appearing in the car market. However, these new engine technologies are not easily penetrating the market around the world and the conventional ones are still the leaders. A vast literature has explored the reasons for such low market penetration, due mainly to car's features. Using a hybrid choice model approach, in this research we study if, and to which extent, habitual car use influences individual propensity to buy a specific type of engine technology. We found significant latent habitual effect on choices of type of car engine. This effect is important only for some of the car alternatives considered in the study. In particular, habitual car users prefer to buy a new car with liquefied petroleum gas and compressed natural gas types of engine technology instead of a conventional one. The importance of taking into account this latent construct is demonstrated also with the results of the simulated elasticity measures. In fact, the exclusion of latent habitual effect significantly underestimates the elasticity of diesel and hybrid cars and overestimates the elasticity of liquefied petroleum gas car.

“…Scenarios simulating the demand for alternative-fuels have been investigated by Ewing and Sarigöllü (2000) and Daziano and Bolduc (2013) among others. In the literature, forecasting analyses include the derivation of elasticities (Dagsvik et al, 2002) or willingness to pay (WTP) indicators (Daziano and Bolduc, 2013).…”

In the context of the arrival of electric vehicles on the car market, new mathematical models are needed to understand and predict the impact on the market shares. This research provides a comprehensive methodology to forecast the demand of a technology which is not widespread yet, such as electric cars. It aims at providing contributions regarding three issues related to the prediction of the demand for electric vehicles: survey design, model estimation and forecasting. We develop a stated preferences (SP) survey with personalized choice situations involving standard gasoline/diesel cars and electric cars. We specify a hybrid choice model accounting for attitudes towards leasing contracts or practical aspects of a car in the decision-making process. A forecasting analysis based on the collected SP data and market data is performed to evaluate the future demand for electric cars.
