In this paper we first show that the gains achievable by integrating pricing and inventory control are usually small for classical demand functions. We then introduce reference price models and demonstrate that for this class of demand functions the benefits of integration with inventory control...

In this paper, we develop an empirical test of consistency in contingent willingness topay (WTP) responses, which is based on the following a priori expectation. In economics,when an individual considers paying for public goods, his decision to pay, and his WTP arebased on utility-maximising...

Payment-for-Ecosystem-Services (PES) programs are gaining appeal as flexible approaches to inducing the voluntary provision of ecosystem services (ES). Farmers, who manage agricultural ecosystems, provide important nonmarket ecosystem services to the public by their choice of production inputs...

We compare the ability of three preference elicitation methods (hypothetical choices, non-hypothetical choices, and non-hypothetical rankings) and three discrete-choice econometric models (the multinomial logit, the independent availability logit, and the random parameter logit) to predict...

The Daintree Rainforest is a prime attraction for Tropical North Queensland as a touristdestination. Visitation of the rainforest, specifically the Cape Tribulation section, hasincreased rapidly as impediments to self-drive access have been removed. This paperexamines the potential for the local...

Choice-based conjoint analysis has increased in popularity in recent years among marketing practitioners. The typical practice is to estimate choice-based conjoint models at the aggregate level, given insufficient data for individual-level estimation of part-worths. We discuss a method for...
