The social value of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine: willingness to pay estimates from four Western countries
Costa-Font, Joan; Rudisill, Caroline; Harrison, Sayward; … - 2021
SARS-CoV-2 vaccines give rise to positive externalities on population health, society and the economy in addition to protecting the health of vaccinated individuals. Hence, the social value of such a vaccine exceeds its market value. This paper estimates the willingness to pay (WTP) for a...

Hedonic estimation under very general conditions using experimental and quasi-experimental designs
Rohlfs, Chris; Sullivan, Ryan; Kniesner, Thomas J. - 2013
This paper develops a generalized hedonic model in which an exogenous shock to a single product attribute can affect other attributes, the markets for the product's complements and substitutes, and aggregate quantity produced. These factors are shown to be empirically relevant and to cause bias...

Alternative models of preference heterogeneity for elicited choice probabilities
Kettlewell, Nathan; Walker, Matthew J.; Hong il Yoo - 2024
Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) often present concise choice scenarios that may appear incomplete to respondents. To allow respondents to express uncertainty arising from this incompleteness, DCEs may ask them to state probabilities with which they expect to make specific choices. The...

Employers' willingness to invest in the training of temporary workers: a discrete choice experiment
Poulissen, Davey; Grip, Andries de; Fouarge, Didier; … - 2021
Various studies have shown that temporary workers participate less in training than those on permanent contracts. Human resources practices are considered to be an important explanation for this difference. We develop a theoretical framework for employers' provision of training that explicitly...

What aspects of formality do workers value? : evidence from a choice experiment in Bangladesh
Mahmud, Minhaj Uddin; Gutierrez, Italo A.; Kumar, Krishna B. - 2019
Using a choice experiment among 2,000 workers in Bangladesh, we to elicit willingness to pay (WTP) for specific job benefits typically associated with formal employment. We find that workers value job stability the most; the average worker would be willing to forego a 27 percent increase in...

Job preferences of aged care workers in Australia : results from a discrete choice experiment
Mavromaras, Kostas G.; Isherwood, Linda; Mahuteau, Stephane - 2022
Using a Discrete Choice Experiment we estimate the relative value attached by workers on core job attributes identified by previous qualitative research on the Aged Care workforce in Australia: salary (hourly); work hours; training/skill development; staffing numbers; processes for managing...
