Abstract

In this paper we propose use of structural equation modelling to validate the assumed classification of attributes necessary in hierarchical information integration approaches to preference formation. The suggested approach is illustrated in a study of residential satisfaction and preference in the Netherlands. The findings emphasise the potential of the approach.
