Modelling consumer choice processes in a dynamic and competitive environment

A “choice model” is a mathematical tool that can be used to anticipate the behaviour of economic agents when they must choose among several options. We will use this technique to predict airline or railway passenger choices as a means of anticipating demand and optimizing supply with regard to availability and ticket prices. As part of this internship, the intern will develop new models and test their performance using actual data. This internship will allow ExPretio to test new approaches and apply advanced techniques in choice modelling, an area in which the intern has specialized as part of his Ph.D.
