Changing with the Tide: Semi-Parametric Estimation of Preference Dynamics

Dekker, Thijs; Koster, Paul; Brouwer, Roy - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

paper contrasts the discovered preference hypothesis against the theory of coherent arbitrariness in a split-sample stated … developed as an alternative to the Swait and Louviere (1993) procedure to control for preference dynamics within and between … samples. The L-MNL model finds empirical support for the discovered preference hypothesis in the form of a declining starting …

Scale, Scope and Cognition: Context Analysis of Multiple Stated Choice Experiments on the Values of Life and Limb

Bockarjova, Marija; Rietveld, Piet; Verhoef, Erik T. - Tinbergen Instituut - 2012

In this paper we use data from an SP study on flood safety in the Netherlands, and elicit individual preferences for reduction of risk to life and limb. We perform context analysis to test the robustness of fatality risk valuation throughout choice experiments. The main interest of this paper is...

Environmental Damage and Price Taking Behaviour by Firms and Consumers

Houba, Harold; Kremers, Hans - Tinbergen Instituut - 2009

Integrated assessment models lack a microeconomic foundation in modelling environmental damages to the economy. To overcome this, damage coefficients are incorporated in standard microeconomic models. Firms and consumers take both damages and prices as given. Demand, supply, profit and...

Composite Valuation of Immaterial Damage in Flooding: Value of Statistical Life, Value of Statistical Evacuation and Value of Statistical Injury

Bockarjova, Marija; Rietveld, Piet; Verhoef, Erik T. - Tinbergen Instituut - 2012

This paper enriches existing valuation literature in a number of ways by presenting context-specific estimates of immaterial damage. First, it offers an estimation of value of statistical life (VOSL) in the context of a natural hazard (flooding). Next, as one of the contributions, alongside with...

Statistical Modelling of Extreme Rainfall in Taiwan

Chu, Lan-Fen; McAleer, Michael; Chang, Ching-Chung - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

In this paper, the annual maximum daily rainfall data from 1961 to 2010 are modelled for 18 stations in Taiwan. We fit the rainfall data with stationary and non-stationary generalized extreme value distributions (GEV), and estimate their future behaviour based on the best fitting model. The...
