Course Description and Objectives:

This course focusses on estimating individual brand preferences and individual price sensitivities towards differentiated products on consumer goods markets with the help of scanner panel data. In particular we will work with the discrete choice models and estimate random coefficient logit models to get individual parameter estimates. We will use data from the IRI Academic data set from the carbonated soft drink market and study the demand for cola and non-cola brands in this market. The course will enable you to understand how to use marketing data to support marketing decisions.
