“…Most commonly these are binary choice models using either a Probit or Logit specification (Riddington, Sinclair, & Milne, 2000). The Multinomial Logit model constitutes an appropriate framework to explore and explain choice process where the choice set consists of more than two alternatives (Greene, 1998;Ben-Akiva & Lerman, 1985).…”

“…People are assumed to first choose a location, and then a resort. SeeRiddington et al (2000). 6 Such a model thus describes both how consumers choose between direct purchase and using an insurance advisor, as well as the choice between safe and risky products, while allowing the error terms of these two equations (accounting for unobserved, randomly distributed characteristics) to be correlated.…”

What factors determine how well consumers make their actual choices with regard to financial products? This article empirically evaluates two different choices consumers make when buying deferred annuities. One choice concerns the type of insurance policy, the other concerns the choice of insurance provider. For both choices, we will analyse what factors explain the quality of the choice made. In particular, we will investigate the role of financial advice in the decision-making process. By combining Dutch consumer survey data and data on quotations by Dutch life insurance companies, we obtain the following results. First, respondents who buy their policy directly from an insurer attain a significantly better match between their risk preferences and the type of policy chosen than respondents who purchase their policy through an insurance broker. Second, respondents who buy their policy through an insurance broker obtain a significantly lower payout than respondents who purchased their policy directly from an insurance company. These results raise doubts about the functioning of both the market for financial advice and the market for life insurances.

Abstract:The impacts of climate change are affecting ski tourism in Europe's southernmost ski resorts, such as those in France, and Spain. This is leading to changes in the scheduling of activities which, in turn, imply changes in how ski resorts are managed. The main aim of this work is to analyze whether ski resort websites are developing an effective marketing strategy and if they are adapted to e-commerce and the needs of contemporary society, including the adaptations needed to better face climate change and the stagnation the sector is suffering. In order to achieve this, we have developed a model to analyze ski resort websites; it is based on web content analysis, taking four factors into account: information, communication, e-commerce, and additional functions. We will, secondly, apply the eMICA (Extended Model of Internet Commerce Adoption) methodology to analyze the maturity of such e-commerce activities in ski tourism. Fifty-two ski resorts in Spain and 173 in France were analyzed. Results show that, while alpine ski resorts in general, and those in France in particular, are better prepared, resorts still have to facilitate more effective communication and interaction with their target public. A minority of resorts provide information on environmental certifications and snowmaking.
