If theory choice is empirically determinate, especially if theoretical concepts are explicitly constructed from empirical primitives, as in Carnap's program in the Aufbau (Carnap 1928), then it is hard to see how theory gives us a story about anything other than experience.
Employing European firm- and country-level data, the impact of the tonnage tax on organizational form choice is studied empirically.
In a choice setting, we empirically show that security perception, as well as convenience, influences consumers' product choices, contradicting the common view of existing literature that convenience is the sole driver of consumer choice.
It rather depends on the application, in particular, the empirically specified choice model.
These results reinforce the need for all researchers to justify, both theoretically and empirically, their choice of measurement model.
In Tables 1, 2, and 3, PESQ results for the W β-SA estimator considering α = 0 (corresponding to the β-SA estimator), α = 0.22 (an empirically fixed choice of α), original scheme for α as in [10] and the proposed scheme for α in (10).
The choice of α was empirically chosen and indicates a slight preference towards minimizing distance changes over appearance changes during the extension phase.
We classify countries according to characteristics and strategic choices that determine the empirically estimated disease contraction probability.
Policy makers' empirically estimated strategic choice pe that impact the empirically estimated disease contraction probabilities qe, where Int means Intermediate and Lo/I means Low/Int.
The choice of 1980 is determined empirically and we use periods of 100 years, see Section "Results and discussion".
