在本文中，我们扩展了离散选择模型的行为范围，用于休闲活动-旅行选择。更具体地说，我们调查了休闲活动和相关旅行的选择在多大程度上是由需求的满足驱动的。除了传统的属性（如活动成本），我们基于后悔的离散选择模型包含了潜在变量，代表了特定休闲活动对个人需求满足的预期水平。潜在变量是借助与休闲活动相关的需求满意度的主观指标来校准的。结果表明，需求满意度使我们能够在受访者的休闲活动旅行决策中分解出大量未观察到的异质性。确定预期需求满足的结构性驱动因素也有助于更好地预测休闲活动的选择。(C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
In this paper we extend the behavioural scope of discrete choice models for leisure activity-travel choices. More specifically, we investigate to what extent choices for leisure activities and related travels are driven by the satisfaction of needs. In addition to conventional attributes (such as activity costs), our regret based discrete choice model incorporates latent variables representing the anticipated level of individual needs-satisfaction by a particular leisure activity. The latent variables are calibrated with the help of subjective indicators of needs-satisfaction associated with the leisure activities. Results show that needs-satisfaction allows us to decompose a substantial share of the unobserved heterogeneity in leisure activity-travel decisions across respondents. Identifying the structural drivers of anticipated needs-satisfaction also enables a better prediction of leisure activity choice. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
