Stated Preference Evaluation of Government Budgets
Kerr, Geoffrey N.; Cullen, Ross; Hughey, Kenneth F.D. - 2005
Stated preference approaches are widely used in non-market valuation. However, their potential uses extend far beyond valuation. In particular they can be used to assess efficiency of resource allocations and to design optimal resource allocations. Changes to the government budget were evaluated...
