Simulating WTP values from random-coefficient models
Rischatsch, Maurus - 2009
Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs) designed to estimate willingness-to-pay (WTP) values are very popular in health economics. With increased computation power and advanced simulation techniques, random-coefficient models have gained an increasing importance in applied work as they allow for...

When are preferences consistent? : the effects of task familiarity and contextual cues on revealed and stated preferences
Schläpfer, Felix; Fischhoff, Baruch - 2010
Traditionally, economists make a sharp distinction between stated and revealed preferences, viewing the latter as more fully meeting the assumptions of economic analysis. Here, we consider one form of empirical evidence regarding this belief: the consistency of choices in stated and revealed...

A causal interpretation of extensive and intensive margin effects in generalized tobit models
Staub, Kevin E. - 2010
The usual decomposition of effects in corner solution models into extensive and intensive margins is generally incompatible with a causal interpretation. This paper proposes a decomposition based on the joint distribution of potential outcomes which is meaningful in a causal sense. The...

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...

Mapping of forest biodiversity values : a plural perspective
Ojea, Elena; Nunes, Paulo A. L. D.; Loureiro, Maria - 2009
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment is built on a conceptual framework that links biodiversity to the services ecosystems provide to society. Based on this framework, we first compile market and non-market forest valuation studies and, secondly, explore the potential of an econometric modeling...
