It has been suggested that the nature of the task within a multi-attribute multi-alternative choice experiment may be sufficiently complex to make it difficult for individuals to develop response strategies to strategically bias their answers. This experiment tested that hypothesis by setting...

Vietnam has negotiated a series of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements and has madesignificant steps in integrating into the world economy. This integration is likely to have bothpositive and negative effects on different stakeholders in the economy. This paper seeks tomeasure the...

This study uses panel data at suburb level to estimates the elasticity water demands inPerth, Australia from 1995 to 2005. After deriving the consumer’s water demand under anon-linear budget constraint, we estimate the water demand model, which accounts forhow water (and other purchased goods)...

The introduction of measurement bias in parameter estimates into non-linear discrete choice models,as a result of using factor analysis, was identified by Train et al. (1987). They found that the inclusionof factor scores, used to represent relationships amongst like variables, into a subsequent...

Conventional empirical demand systems normally take prices to be exogenous, and determine the quantities demanded. Although this is logical for the individual consumer, at the market level the aggregate quantity traded may be exogenously determined, while the price vector changes to ensure...

This article attempts to set out the broad approach which the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC) takes in statutory recognition, and also to describe, in a little more detail, the way in which we tackle each stage of the statutory process. While we now have sufficient of a track record to...
