La mayoría de los 1.600 muertos anuales por accidentes de tránsito en Chile se relaciona con el exceso de velocidad. Una herramienta de control de velocidad, el fotorradar, puesta en uso a mediados de la década de 1990, fue abrupta y prácticamente prohibida por una ley que se promulgó sobre...

Most road accidents in Chile (causing about 1,600 deaths per year) are linked to speeding. A widely used control mechanism all over the world, the speed detectors, enabled in the middle of the 1990’s was then suddenly prohibited in Chile through the enactment of a law justified on the idea...

Stated choice studies have been applied regularly to the valuation of time savings and other attributes of travelling as perceived by individuals. In such experiments, respondents often provide reference levels for the attributes and the hypothetical choices presented to them are pivoted around...

<title>Abstract</title> The value of road safety is the fundamental input in social cost--benefit analysis of road safety schemes. It is also an increasingly important input in the social evaluation of almost any transport infrastructure project. This value is given by the amount that people are willing to pay...

Wine is a complex product. Preferences for it are not only highly heterogeneous throughout the population, but also amply susceptible to context. The objective of this study is to discover and measure these preferences, focusing on a set of non-sensory attributes of wine. To identify the most...

In recent years there has been a re-focus on the valuation of a statistical life from the ex post or human capital method to an ex ante willingness to pay (WTP) approach. This is in part a recognition that we need to focus on establishing the amount, ex ante, that individuals are willing to pay...

The value of fatal risk reductions is a vital input for road safety cost-benefit analysis and has been traditionally estimated by means of contingent valuation in spite of the growing criticism surrounding this approach. Furthermore, many scholars believe that risk-money trade-offs are not well...

This paper explores the complexity and cognitive burden associated to stated choice experiments. Complexity is analysed in terms of design dimensions such as the number of available alternatives, the number of attributes used to define these alternatives, the number of levels for those...

In recent years there has been a re-focus on the valuation of a statistical life from the ex post or human capital method to an ex ante willingness to pay (WTP) approach. This is in part a recognition that we may have been undervaluing the cost of fatalities and injuries to society associated...
