Resumo: |
How are choices made? The understanding of this matter is crucial, for instance, for an automobile industry firm that intends to launch a new model on the market, or for a political party that needs to decide which candidate will run for the office. It happens that buying the A or B car or voting for the A or B candidate are usually individual choices. Therefore, when one understands how the choices are made, the chances of selling more cars or winning the election are increased greatly. That is the primary subject of this study: choices. More specifically, it deals with choices at the light of the Economical Theory. And in order to lead a sequence of three empiric exercises about the theme a forefront technique named Mixed LOGIT is used. In the first exercise the set of the people’s choices contains options for the buying of automobiles, and how the choices are made in that consumption environment will be studied. Consequently, it will be possible to compute ownprice- elasticity, cross-price-elasticity, markups and surplus of the consumer and the producer. In the second exercise the set of choices will represent options of kinds of workers, and how the firms make the choices on how to fill the job vacancies will be studied. Consequently, it will be possible to understand how the social networks can affect the labor market. In the third exercise the set of choices will represent the Presidential candidates running for the 2006 election, and how the voters can be induced to voting to a certain candidate will be studied. Consequently, it will be possible to estimate how a cash transfer programme, such as Programa Bolsa Família (Family Grant Programme) can influence the result of the election |
