Nonparametric analysis of treatment effects in ordered response models
Boes, Stefan - 2007
This paper deals with the identification of treatment effects when the outcome variable is ordered. If outcomes are measured ordinally, previously developed methods to investigate the impact of an endogenous binary regressor on average outcomes cannot be applied as the expectation of an ordered...

Economic well-being, social mobility, and preferences for income redistribution : evidence from a discrete choice experiment
Neustadt, Ilja; Zweifel, Peter - 2010 - Revised version
In this paper, preferences for income redistribution in Switzerland are elicited through a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) performed in 2008. In addition to the amount of redistribution as a share of GDP, attributes also included its uses (working poor, the unemployed, old-age pensioners,...

Partial identification of discrete counterfactual distributions with sequential update of information
Boes, Stefan - 2009
The credibility of standard instrumental variables assumptions is often under dispute. This paper imposes weak monotonicity in order to gain information on counterfactual outcomes, but avoids independence or exclusion restrictions. The outcome process is assumed to be sequentially ordered,...

Do religious beliefs explain preferences for income redistribution? : experimental evidence
Neustadt, Ilja - 2010
Due to the mixed empirical evidence bearing on the economic determinants, beliefs have been at the center of attention of research into preferences for income redistribution. We elicit preferences for income redistribution through a Discrete Choice Experiment performed in 2008 in Switzerland and...

Is the welfare state sustainable? : experimental evidence on citizens' preferences for redistribution
Neustadt, Ilja; Zweifel, Peter - 2010
The sustainability of the welfare state ultimately depends on citizens’ preferences for income redistribution. They are elicited through a Discrete Choice Experiment performed in 2008 in Switzerland. Attributes are redistribution as GDP share, its uses (the unemployed, old-age pensioners,...

A choice modelling approach for assessment of use and quasi-option values in urban planning for areas of environmental interest
Strazzera, Elisabetta; Cherchi, Elisabetta; Ferrini, Silvia - 2008
This study adopts a discrete choice modelling methodology to evaluate individuals' preferences over planning alternatives for an urban site of environmental interest. Since such projects involve some uncertainty and irreversibility, a special attention is devoted to the estimation of the...

Households' WTP for the reliability of gas supply
Chou, Wan-jung; Bigano, Andrea; Hunt, Alistair; … - 2011
The security of natural gas supply is an important issue for all EU countries due to the region's heavy dependence on imported supply sources and in light of energy demand for gas that is continuously increasing. Discussions have emphasised strategies for securing the supply at the macro level,...
