ABSTRACT
This chapter sets out criteria that the range of alternatives should be mutually exclusive, in that a person only chooses one of the possible alternatives. The research has shown that parents in the Global South are making decisions and choices about where to educate their children. These parents are being offered choices for government, faith based and community schools in the same way that parents are making choices to go to Charter, Academy and faith based schools in the Global North. The chapter illustrates how a discrete choice model can be applied to revealed choice decisions for consumers related to transport. The Generalised Extreme Value (GEV) model model allows for correlations of unobserved factors over alternatives within a nested group and no correlation for unobserved factors in different nested groups. The most commonly used version of this class of GEV model is called the nested logit.
