Non-market effects of agriculture are often estimated using discrete choice models from stated preference surveys. In this context we propose two ways of modelling attribute non-attendance. The first involves constraining coefficients to zero in a latent class framework, whereas the second is...

We analyze data from experimental auctions of orange maize in rural Zambia using the Becker-deGroot-Marschak (BDM) mechanism to estimate the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for the maize. Further, BDM data is combined with first-price auction data to estimate individual risk attitudes. The orange maize...

The importance of pulse cultivation and consumption is recognized by the scientific community in terms of human nutrition, food security, biodiversity and a valid substitute for animal protein. In some marginal areas, pulse cultivation represents also a protection against the abandonment of...

This study adopts a choice modelling framework to disentangle individual preferences for rural landscape attributes based on the viewing of photographs of the Irish countryside. Using ordered logit and standard panel and pooled regression models, societal preferences are quantified for rural...
