There have been some exciting developments in choice modeling, but
much of this work is only accessible to those attending conferences
like the International Choice Modeling Conference where researchers
from many different fields can share their work. This Handbook
brings the best of this new work to a wider audience. The editors
have convinced many of the top researchers in choice modeling to
contribute essays, and the resulting Handbook is the only reference
I know that comes close to covering the current state of the art in
choice modeling.' - David Brownstone, University of California,
Irvine, US'Choice modelling has been the focus of intensive
research activities during the last decades. This book proposes a
fantastic consolidation of these recent developments, written by
the major actors in the field, including Daniel McFadden, Nobel
Laureate. The good balance between fundamental topics and applied
considerations, as well as the coverage of area-specific aspects,
make it an exceptional reference for researchers and practitioners
interested in human choices.' - Michel Bierlaire, EPFL Lausanne,
Switzerland 'Decision-making underpins daily life, from the simple
to the complex. Neurophysiologists, psychologists and economists
have all spent decades studying decision-making from very different
perspectives. Theoretical advances in the different fields have
complementary strengths, creating the need for an integrated
approach. This book represents a milestone in bringing together
different theoretical perspectives on decision-making, setting the
foundations for exciting new multi-disciplinary approaches.' -
Scott Brown, The University of Newcastle, Australia This Handbook
provides an authoritative and in-depth overview of the essential
topics related to the increasingly important field of choice
modeling: a key tool for the understanding of behavior and used to
support decision-making across many areas such as transportation,
health economics, environmental analysis and marketing. The
Handbook of Choice Modelling, composed of contributions from senior
figures in the field, summarizes the essential analytical
techniques and discusses the key current research issues. The book
opens with Nobel Laureate Daniel McFadden calling for deeper
engagement with more behavioural and psychological fields, and this
is followed by supporting chapters on behavioural economics and
mathematical psychology. Further chapters explore the elicitation
of data and the context of observation; inter-personal variation;
the modeling of complex choice processes taking account of
heterogeneity; extending the models to deal with more complex
choices; statistical processes for the understanding of data; and
finally the practical application of these methods. A final group
of chapters discusses the research needs of specific application
areas. Offering a unique collection of contributions from many of
the top researchers in choice modeling, this Handbook provides
essential reading for academics, students and practitioners in a
wide range of areas. Contributors: M. Abou Zeid, W.L. Adamowicz,
