Exit, Voice, and Loyalty in Twenty-Nine Asian Societies

Abstract

This chapter attempts to reveals how values, views and demographics of respondents determine their choices using logit regression analysis. Yet it is very important to emphasize that “determine” means something more modest here than normally used in relation to logit regression analysis. Regression analysis is associated with “explanation” rather than “description”. Explanation as used in regression analysis tends to mean strict causal relations. In this chapter, my use of logit regression analysis is to alert some salient views, values and demographics of respondents to readers when they try to understand the national characteristics of each of 29 societies in answering the Hirshmanite question.
