Can intertemporal choice experiments elicit time preferences for consumption?
Cubitt, Robin; Read, Daniel - Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics … - 2005
The paper considers the problems of interpreting subjects’ responses to laboratory intertemporal choice and matching tasks that arise from (i) the existence of capital markets outside the laboratory; (ii) the distinction between observable income and unobservable consumption. It distinguishes...

Cake-Eating with Private Information
Gerlagh, Reyer; Liski, Matti - CESifo - 2014
We consider a model of cake-eating with private information. The model captures phenomena such as trust and “security of supply” in resource-use relationships. It also predicts supply shocks as an equilibrium phenomenon: privately informed sellers have incentives to reveal resource scarcity...

modern means of communication and socialization that has taken lately more ground in higher education becoming an important … academic tool in the communication process. Many universities have their own Facebook page, being used by both students and … teachers, and creating Facebook groups increasingly facilitates communication with students. Thus, this paper aims to identify …

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...

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...

Bayesian D-Optimal Choice Designs for Mixtures
Ruseckaite, Aiste; Goos, Peter; Fok, Dennis - Tinbergen Instituut - 2014
Consumer products and services can often be described as mixtures of ingredients. Examples are the mixture of ingredients in a cocktail and the mixture of different components of waiting time (e.g., in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle travel time) in a transportation setting. Choice experiments may...

Inferring discount rates from time-preference experiments
Duquette, Eric; Higgins, Nathaniel; Horowitz, John - In: Economics Letters 123 (2014) 2, pp. 212-215
We observe that identification of the discount rate from experimental data requires an assumption about the consumption period, the length of time over which a payment will be turned into utility-providing consumption. We show that the optimal consumption period is substantially longer than...
