Is Presentation Everything? Using Visual Presentation of Attributes in Discrete Choice Experiments to Measure the Relative Importance of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Beef Attributes
Umberger, Wendy J.; Mueller, Simone C. - 2010
A unique discrete choice experiment (DCE) is used to estimate the relative importance ofquality attributes to Australian beef consumers. In the DCE, consumers choose theirpreferred beef steaks from options varying in a large number of intrinsic (marbling and fattrim) and extrinsic/credence...

Discrete Choice Models in Preference Space and Willingness-to Pay Space
Train, Kenneth; Weeks, Melvyn - 2004
In models with unobserved taste heterogeneity, distributional assumptions can be placed in two ways: (1) by specifying the distribution of coefficients in the utility function and deriving the distribution of willingness to pay (wtp), or (2) by specifying the distribution of wtp and deriving the...

Structural Modeling of Marine Reserves with Bayesian Estimation
Smith, Martin D.; Zhang, Junjie; Coleman, Felicia C. - 2007
Structural models can assess the effectiveness of fishery management prospectively and retrospectively. However, when only fishery-dependent data are available, structural econometric models are highly nonlinear in the parameters, and maximum likelihood and other extremum-based estimators can...

Essays on Bayesian choice modelling with applications in health economics
Gu, Yuanyuan, Economics, Australian School of Business, UNSW - 2011
The thesis develops flexible Bayesian choice models and these models are often highly-parameterised. All inference is obtained from the posterior density and evaluated using computationally intensive Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimation. The models are applied to health economics studies...

Untersuchungen zur Integration der fluktuierenden Windenergie in das System der Elektroenergieversorgung
Pforte, René - 2010
Windenergie in das System der Elektroenergieversorgung Europas. Dazu werden u.a. Optimierungsmodelle zur Standortauswahl von … Windenergieanlagen und darauf aufbauend zur Quantifizierung des weiträumigen Ausgleichseffekts der Windenergie auf Basis meteorologischer … Daten vorgestellt. Die Windenergie kann demnach einen maßgeblichen Beitrag zur Bereitstellung elektrischer Energie leisten. …
