Assessing the spatial dependence of welfare estimates obtained from discrete choice experiments
(Springer, 2008)We report results from a discrete choice experiment designed to assess the general public’s preferences regarding rural landscape improvements. Using a random parameters logit model to account for unobserved taste ... -
Benefit estimates for landscape improvements: sequential Bayesian design and respondents' rationality in a choice experiment
(University of Wisconsin Press, 2006)A multi-attribute, stated-preference approach is used to value low and high impact actions on four major landscape components addressed by the Rural Environment Protection Scheme in Ireland. Several methodological issues ... -
Incorporating discontinuous preferences into the analysis of discrete choice experiments
(2007-09)Data from a discrete choice experiment on improvements of rural landscape attributes are used to investigate the implications of discontinuous preferences on willingness to pay estimates. Using a multinomial error component ... -
Testing the stability of the benefit transfer function for discrete choice contingent valuation data
(2007-05)We examine the stability of the benefit transfer function across 42 recreational forests in the British Isles. A working definition of reliable function transfer is put forward, and a suitable statistical test is provided. ... -
Using choice experiments to explore the spatial distribution of willingness to pay for rural landscape improvements
