The inclusion of attitudinal indicator variables within discrete choice models is now common practice. Typically, this involves the estimation of multiple indicator multiple cause (MIMIC) type models which are used to construct latent attitudinal variables that are then employed as independent...

Much of the environmental and resource economics literature dealing with discrete choice models involves the estimation of welfare effects, either in the form of marginal willingness to pay or consumer surplus estimates. Most of these papers assume a linear marginal utility of income, meaning...

Background: Experimental designs constitute a vital component of all Stated Choice (aka discrete choice experiment) studies. However, there exists limited empirical evaluation of the statistical benefits of Stated Choice (SC) experimental designs that employ non-zero prior estimates in...
