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. - 2012

choice experiments. The main interest of this paper is VOSL sensitivity to the valuation of correlated risks (scope effect …). Besides, we explore the role of cognition on the stability of valuation across choice experiments using age and education. We … pool data from multiple choice experiments and apply nested and mixed logit models in our analysis. We confirm …
