The aim of this research is to aid winery managers in bundling a plethora of different service features to meet the wine tourists' expectations. A discrete choice model using best-worst scaling (BWS) data is estimated to obtain the relative importance of the attributes included in the analysis....

For optimal solutions in health care, decision makers inevitably must evaluate trade-offs, which call for multiattribute valuation methods. Researchers have proposed using best-worst scaling (BWS) methods which seek to extract information from respondents by asking them to identify the best and...

Die Qualitätsbeurteilung von Wein stellt für Verbraucher beim Kauf eine besondere Herausforderung dar. In dieser Untersuchung wurden die Präferenzen von Konsumenten von Öko-Lebensmitteln für Wein analysiert, um die relative Bedeutung verschiedener Produkteigenschaften für die...

This research locates a series of risks or hazards within a framework characterised by the level of control respondents believe they have over the risks, and the level of worry the risks prompt. It does this for a set of both food and non-food risks. The means by which this is done is novel, and...

The earthquake that hit Haiti in the beginning of 2010 led to tremendous international solidarity in the recovery effort. Despite the tons of aid sent to Haiti, relatively little is known about the effectiveness of the aid or about the continuing needs of the Haitians. Using data collected from...

A household survey and a novel Best-Worst scaling method are used to examine the relative importance of various buyer characteristics to small potato farmers in Indonesia. A Latent Class Cluster Analysis is used explore whether producers’ utilities for marketing channels are heterogeneous. For...

We analyse stated preference data over nursing jobs collected from two different discrete choice experiments: a multi-profile case best-worst scaling experiment (BWS) prompting selection of the best and worst among alternative jobs, and a profile case BWS wherein the respondents choose the best...

Best-Worst Scaling (BWS), sometimes also called Maximum Difference (MaxDiff), is a discrete choice modeling method widely used for finding utilities and choice probabilities among multiple alternatives. It can be seen as an extension of the paired comparison techniques for the simultaneous...
