Modelling attribute non-attendance in choice experiments for rural landscape valuation. European Review of Agricultural Economics, 36(2), 151-174.https://hdl.handle.net/10289/2850Non-market effects of agriculture are often estimated using discrete choice models from stated preference surveys. In this context we propose two ways of modelling attribute non-attendance. The first involves constraining coefficients to zero in a latent class framework, whereas the second is based on stochastic attribute selection and grounded in Bayesian estimation. Their implications are explored in the context of a stated preference survey designed to value landscapes in Ireland. Taking account of attribute non-attendance with these data improves fit and tends to involve two attributes one of which is likely to be cost, thereby leading to substantive changes in derived welfare estimates.enattribute non-attendancediscrete choice modellingstated preferencelatent class modelsstochastic attribute selection modelsJournal Article10.1093/erae/jbp012
