The results reveal a strong investor preference for products with high annualized returns, short investment tenures, a focus on the healthcare sector, government backing, and flexible redemption options. By applying latent class analysis, we identify three distinct investor segments: Flexible Savers, Holistic Benefit Assessors, and Economic Return Seekers. The study also examines how demographic characteristics such as age, education, income, risk tolerance, philanthropic involvement, and awareness of social finance are associated with distinct investor segments. The findings suggest that future efforts should focus on designing social finance products that align with the diverse needs of these investor segments, thereby enhancing the appeal and effectiveness of social finance initiatives.

However, discussion of principles associated with the specification of the class membership model has barely appeared in the literature. Related to this issue, this study questions whether one of the basic assumptions of latent class choice modeling, that of independence between latent segmentation and the behavior generation process, is tenable. We formulate latent class choice models where the unobserved influences on latent segmentation and behavior generation are correlated, by introducing an error structure reflecting that supposition. The proposed method is applied to two empirical settings. In the first application, the dependent variable is an ordinal variable measuring willingness to share autonomous vehicle rides with strangers. In the second application, the dependent variable is a binary indicator of whether a person has used ridehailing services for social purposes. In both applications, error correlations were statistically significant, indicating that the segmentation and behavior generation processes are jointly determined. Although goodness of fits and parameter estimates per se are similar to those of the standard latent class choice models for these particular applications, allowing an error structure leads to a subtle change in model implications. In particular, our scenario analyses, which present marginal effects, illustrate the value of the proposed model for considering jointness arising from correlated errors, in contrast to standard latent class models. Lastly, we propose several avenues for future research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46863,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Choice Modelling","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 100519"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142722159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We employ multiple discrete choice modeling approaches and show that, across all models, the implications of accounting for loss aversion are qualitatively similar and match theoretical predictions. Despite this similarity, when comparing results across models we find that model choice has substantial impacts on estimated loss aversion. Specifically, different models estimate loss/gain ratios below two and in excess of six for the same data set. Thus, the consequences of framing decisions, which are an important aspect of nonmarket valuation, are not just the provenance of survey and choice experiment design but may also be heavily influenced by empirical model choice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46863,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Choice Modelling","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 100524"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142698677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The investigation is motivated by the fact that stated preference surveys in this field increasingly incorporate additional data into their modelling, particularly respondents' attitudes towards the environment in a broader context or specifically towards the environmental changes under evaluation. Key findings include the fact that sample sizes are usually too small for such complex models, that many studies use ad hoc scales as indicators of latent variables without first testing the validity and reliability of the scales, and that model results are often not compared with a benchmark model. One particularly notable finding of the simulation study is that excluding a latent variable, such as estimating Random Parameter Logit (RPL) instead of HCM, does not necessarily lead to biased willingness to pay (WTP) estimates. Therefore, if the inclusion of a latent construct is not critical to the study, we suggest opting for more traditional and robust models such as RPL or Latent Class Models (LCM). The perceived benefits of gaining a better understanding of how latent factors influence decisions come with risks associated with defining and estimating an HCM.
