This paper describes a multivariate Poisson mixture model for clustering supermarket shoppers based on their purchase frequency in a set of product categories. The multivariate nature of the model accounts for cross-selling effects between the purchases made in different product categories. However, for computational reasons, most multivariate approaches limit the covariance structure by including just one common interaction term, or by not including any covariance at all. Although this reduces the number of parameters significantly, it is often too simplistic as typically multiple interactions exist on different levels. This paper proposes a theoretically more complete variance/covariance structure of the multivariate Poisson model, based on domain knowledge or preliminary statistical analysis of significant purchase interaction effects in the data. Consequently, the model does not contain more parameters than necessary, whilst still accounting for the existing covariance in the data. Practically, retail category managers can use the model to devise customized merchandising strategies. 相似文献

Social interactions occur when agents in a network affect other agents’ choices directly, as opposed to via the intermediation of markets. The study of such interactions and the resultant outcomes has long been an area of interest across a wide variety of social sciences. With the advent of electronic media that facilitate and record such interactions, this interest has grown sharply in the business world as well. In this paper, we provide a brief summary of what is known so far, discuss the main challenges for researchers interested in this area, and provide a common vocabulary that will hopefully engender future (cross disciplinary) research. The paper considers the challenges of distinguishing actual causal social interactions from other phenomena that may lead to a false inference of causality. Further, we distinguish between two broadly defined types of social interactions that relate to how strongly interactions spread through a network. We also provide a very selective review of how insights from other disciplines can improve and inform modeling choices. Finally, we discuss how models of social interaction can be used to provide guidelines for marketing policy and conclude with thoughts on future research directions. 相似文献

Multivariate count models represent a natural way of accommodating data from multiple product categories when the dependent
variable in each category is represented by a positive integer. In this paper, we propose a new simultaneous equation multi-category
count data model–the Poisson-lognormal simultaneous equation model–that allows for the Poisson parameter in one equation to
be a function of the Poisson parameters in other equations. While generally applicable to any situation where simultaneity
is an issue and the dependent variables are measured as counts, such a specification is particularly useful for our empirical
application where physicians prescribe drugs in multiple categories. Accounting for the endogeneity of detailing in such situations
requires us to explicitly allow for pharmaceutical firms’ detailing activities in one category to be influenced by their activities
in other categories. Estimation of such a system of equations using traditional maximum likelihood method is cumbersome, so
we propose a simple solution based on using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. Our simulation study demonstrates the validity
of the solution algorithm and the biases that would result if such simultaneity is ignored in the estimation process. 相似文献

Gambling and gaming is a very large industry in the United States with about one-third of all adults participating in it on
a regular basis. Using novel and unique behavioral data from a panel of casino gamblers, this paper investigates three aspects
of consumer behavior in this domain. The first is that consumers are addicted to gambling, the second that they act on “irrational”
beliefs, and the third that they are influenced by marketing activity that attempts to influence their gambling behavior.
We use the interrelated consumer decisions to play (gamble) and the amount bet in a casino setting to focus on addiction using
the standard economic definition of addiction. We test for two irrational behaviors, the “gambler’s fallacy” and the “hot
hand myth”—our research represents the first test for these behaviors using disaggregate data in a real (as opposed to a laboratory)
setting. Finally, we look at the effect of marketing instruments on the both the decision to play and the amount bet. Using
hierarchical Bayesian methods to pin down individual-level parameters, we find that about 8% of the consumers in our sample
can be classified as addicted. We find support in our data for the gambler’s fallacy, but not for the hot hand myth. We find
that marketing instruments positively affect gambling behavior, and that consumers who are more addicted are also affected
by marketing to a greater extent. Specifically, the long-run marketing response is about twice as high for the more addicted
consumers. 相似文献

The Nature of Self-Reported Guilt in Consumption Contexts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This research uses consumer guilt narratives to identify a typology for consumption related guilt. Three major dimensions of guilt circumstances emerged involving other individuals, societal standards, and more specific situations related to oneself. The connection between categories of consumer guilt experience and the resulting consumer response is also explored, with resulting consumer actions involving amendment, rationalization, and/or denial to resolve guilt experienced. The findings are integrated into a general discussion of the theoretical and substantive implications and the potential avenues for future research in the area. 相似文献

A key benefit of using car sharing services (relative to car ownership) is that they are more cost effective. Car sharing firms offer a menu of pricing plans to make this happen. The two most common plans are flat-rate and pay-per-use pricing. However, little is known about how consumers choose among these pricing plans. In this study, we analyze consumers' choices between pay-per-use and flat-rate pricing using data from a car sharing provider in a large European city. In contrast to previous research, we find a prevalent and time-persistent pay-per-use bias. Specifically, depending on the definition of the bias, 21% to 32% of customers exhibit this bias. This bias also persists over time within customer. We propose three potential explanations for the existence and persistence of this bias. First, we suggest that customers underestimate their usage. Second, we propose that customers have a preference for flexibility, leading them to pay more. Finally, we show that the physical context, such as weather, increases the likelihood of a pay-per-use bias. Our findings suggest that more research into consumer response to pricing in the Sharing Economy is needed. 相似文献

We present a Bayesian approach for analyzing aggregate level sales data in a market with differentiated products. We consider the aggregate share model proposed by Berry et al. [Berry, Steven, Levinsohn, James, Pakes, Ariel, 1995. Automobile prices in market equilibrium. Econometrica. 63 (4), 841–890], which introduces a common demand shock into an aggregated random coefficient logit model. A full likelihood approach is possible with a specification of the distribution of the common demand shock. We introduce a reparameterization of the covariance matrix to improve the performance of the random walk Metropolis for covariance parameters. We illustrate the usefulness of our approach with both actual and simulated data. Sampling experiments show that our approach performs well relative to the GMM estimator even in the presence of a mis-specified shock distribution. We view our approach as useful for those who are willing to trade off one additional distributional assumption for increased efficiency in estimation. 相似文献

Multiple category choice is a decision process in which an individualselects a number of goods, all of which are nonsubstitutable with respect toconsumption. Choices can be made either simultaneously or sequentially. Thekey feature of multiple category choice is the treatment of the choices asinterrelated because each item in the final collection of goods contributesto the achievement of a common behavioral goal. We discuss current andpotential applications of psychology, economics and consumer choice theoryin developing models of multiple category choice. 相似文献

This paper argues that the pharmaceutical industry represents an exciting opportunity to carry out academic research. The
nature of the industry allows researchers to answer new questions, develop new methodologies for answering these questions
as well as to apply existing methodology to new data. The paper opens with some industry background, then provides a brief
overview of some important research areas and discusses the open questions in each area. Issues of data type and availability
are also discussed.
This paper is based on a session (with the same title and participants) that was part of the Sixth Invitational Choice Symposium
hosted by the University of Colorado and held at Estes Park, Colorado during June 4–8, 2004. 相似文献
