We investigate how accurate parents are at predicting their children's meal preferences and what cues best describe parents’ predictions. In Study 1, 30 parents predicted their children's school lunch choices from actual school menus. Parents’ prediction accuracy matched the stability of children's meal choices (assessed in a 4-month retest), implying that accuracy was...

Incorporating Latent Variables into Discrete Choice Models - A Simultaneous Estimation Approach Using SEM Software

Integrated choice and latent variable (ICLV) models represent a promising new class of models which merge classic choice models with the structural equation approach (SEM) for latent variables. Despite their conceptual appeal, applications of ICLV models in marketing remain rare. We extend previous ICLV applications by first estimating a multinomial choice model and, second, by...

Rainfall shocks, resilience, and the effects of crop biodiversity on agroecosystem productivity

This paper investigates the dynamic effects of rainfall shocks on agroecosystems productivity. The analysis estimates a panel data model of cereal production in southern Italy. It documents the adverse effects of a reduction in rainfall on the agroecosystem productivity both in the short run and the long run. It investigates how increasing the level of spatial crop diversity can...

Landlockedness, Infrastructure and Trade:New Estimates for Central Asian Countries

This paper assesses the impact of internal infrastructure and landlockedness on Central Asian trade. The impact of landlockedness on Central Asian's trade costs is split into several components, using a panel gravity equation estimated on a large sample of countries (167 countries over 1992-2004). Our findings highlight that an improvement in the own infrastructure of Central...

La gestion civile des crises : un outil politico-stratégique au service de l'Union européenne

L'Union européenne ambitionne de faire de la Politique européenne de sécurité et de défense un ensemble unique où les capacités civiles et militaires interviendraient en parfaite complémentarité dans les zones de crise. Faute de lentilles conceptuelles adéquates, le volet civil de la PESD demeure pourtant largement méconnu et sous-étudié. Cette recherche défend la thèse que c...
