Consumer Surveys
Direct consumer
surveys is an approach
to analyzing consumer
behavior that relies on
directly asking
consumers questions
about their response to
prices, price changes, or
price differentials.
Conjoint analysis is an
approach to analyzing
consumer behavior that
asks consumers to rank
and choose among
different product
attributes, including
price, to reveal their
valuation of these
characteristics.
Test marketing is an
approach to analyzing
consumer behavior that
involves analyzing
consumer response to
products in real or
simulated markets.
Price experiments
is an approach to
analyzing consumer
behavior in which

environment.
Unconventional Methods
Regression Methodology
Regression
10
Types of Data
Cross-sectional
12
Simple regression
analysis focuses on the
relationship between two
variables, like, quantity
demanded and price.
13
Q = 210.444 - 1.578P
where
Q = quantity demanded,
and
P = price per unit
14
price is 0,
quantity demanded is
210.444 units. A one
unit increase in price
will reduce quantity
demanded by 1.578
units.
t-test is used to
test the hypothesis
that a coefficient is
significantly different
from zero.
15
The
goodness of fit
of the entire
estimating equation
to the data set is
shown by the
coefficient of
determination (R2).
16
Q = 116.157 - 1.308P
+ 11.246ADV
where
Q = quantity demanded
P = price per unit, and
ADV = advertising
expenditure
