A feature of recent developments in choice models that enable estimation of the distribution of willingness to pay (WTP) is that the sign of the distribution can change over the range. Behaviourally this often makes little sense for attributes such as travel time on non-discretionary travel,...

DCM (Discrete Choice Models) is a package for estimating a class of discrete choice models. Written in Ox, DCM is a class that implements a wide range of discrete choice models including standard binary response models, with notable extensions including conditional mixed logit, mixed probit,...

In the Netherlands a transition takes place fromearly retirement schemes, which are characterizedby high implicit tax rates to schemes that have ahigher degree of actuarial fairness. in this paperwe look at the impact of this change at the laborparticipation rates of 55 to 65 years old...

Mycotoxins contamination in food is a serious source of health risks. This paper evaluates the Italian consumers’ perception of the mycotoxins’ risk through their willingness to pay (WTP) for a hypothetical bottle of milk obtained by cows fed with, inter alia, maize certified for...

This paper assesses the impact on household labor supply of a Dual Income Tax reform in Germany. It relies on GMOD, a population-based tax-benefit microsimulation model, and uses flexible mixed logit simulation estimators.

In a recent study, it was demonstrated that the maximum simulated likelihood (MSL) estimator produces significant biases when applied to the bivariate normal and bivariate Poisson-lognormal models. The study's conclusion suggests that similar biases could be present in other models generated by...

Purpose This paper aims to introduce and illustrate how discrete choice experiments (DCEs) can be used by accounting researchers and present an agenda of accounting-related research topics that might usefully benefit from the adoption of DCEs. Design/methodology/approach Each major phase...

The general decline in per capita consumption of wine worldwide over recent decades reveals the need to apply effective marketing strategies to capture segments of the population, such as young people or women, who tend to consume wine sporadically and in small amounts, even among traditional...
