Um Präferenzen für Maßnahmen zur Stärkung von Sicherheit und Verteidigung als öffentlichem Gut zu bestimmen, bieten sich repräsentativ durchgeführte diskrete Entscheidungsexperimente an. Ein solches umfragegestütztes Experiment offenbart für Deutschland eine große Wertschätzung für...

Defense spending accounts for a large share of the budget in many countries, but the value of the resulting public good - national defense - has so far escaped assessment. Much of the literature has instead considered indirect benefits of defense spending in terms of greater economic growth or...

Efficient experimental designs aim to maximise the information obtained from stated choice data to estimate discrete choice models' parameters statistically efficiently. Almost without exception efficient experimental designs assume that decision-makers use a Random Utility Maximisation (RUM)...

Discrete choice experiments are an important method to derive willingness-to-pay estimates for non-market goods. Several studies have shown that willingness-to-pay estimates derived from discrete choice experiments can be sensitive to the order of the presented choice tasks or the size of the...

We define a simple criterion for assessing the plausibility of Willingness to Pay (WTP) estimates obtained from discrete choice experiments. The criterion compares WTP for the bundle of attributes yielding the highest utility with a threshold value related to the highest level of the cost...
