This paper investigates preferences for various environment-friendly production system for carrots using discretechoice multi-attribute stated-preference data amongst buyers and explore the effect of collective reputations from growers of an Alpine valley known to be completely dedicated to...

Preferences for food products are usually analysed employing multi-attributive Attitude Measurement, Conjoint Analysis and recently Discrete Choice Modelling approaches. From a theoretical point of view, Choice Modelling based on random utility theory (RUT) outperforms traditional Conjoint...

Integrated catchment policies are widely used to manage natural resources in Australian catchments.Decision support tools available to aid integrated catchment management are often limited in theirintegration of environmental processes with socio-economic systems. Fully integrated models...

The Catchment Management Authorities in New South Wales have programs that arecollectively investing $436 million over four years to achieve catchment-wide naturalresource/environmental improvements. In this paper, we consider the question of howto best allocate these resources so as to increase...

The extent of the benefits of improved river health remain uncertain. Quantifying these benefits is useful in prioritising policy investments. This study uses the Choice Modelling technique to estimate the value that households attach to attributes of improved river health. Data from a choice...

Estimates of the compensating surplus generated by changes in non-marketed environmental amenities can be estimated using stated preference valuation techniques. These are typically framed in terms of WTP tradeoffs, even if the situation of interest involves a property right vestment that calls...

The incentives that motivate respondents to reveal their preferences truthfully havebeen a long-standing area of research in the non-market valuation literature. Anumber of studies have been undertaken to investigate incentive compatibility in nonmarketvaluation. Most of these used laboratory...

Should we give equal weight to all responses in a choice experiment? Previous Choice Modelling papers have considered the issue of the internal consistency of choices – such as the extent to which strictly-dominated options are chosen. In this paper, a different focus is employed, namely the...

Stated choice models based on the random utility framework are becoming increasingly popular in the applied economics literature. The need to account for respondents' preference heterogeneity in such models has motivated researchers in agricultural, environmental, health, and transport economics...
