This article investigates consumers' anticipation of other consumers' service time choices in capacity-constrained services and how this is affected by publicly announced access recommendations. Empirical results from an experiment with simulated congestion experiences show that the impact of...

This paper reports on the experimental design process and considerations of a choice experiment conducted in collaboration with farmers in northern Australia. The purpose of the research is to inform the design of effective and efficient payments-for-ecosystem services schemes to safeguard north...

This research investigates the measurement of perceptions by means of adjectives freely reported by respondents in semi-open questions. It involved the use of semi-open responses of 1763 Swiss individuals to develop indicators for a latent variable representing the perception of comfort of...

The paper presents results of investigation on mode choice behaviour for peak period non-work trips (trips that are made during the peak period and are not linked to any other trips). Pure non-work trips within the peak period represent a significant portion of peak period traffic. In the case...

The use of threshold values (cut-offs) is a well-recognized simplifying strategy in real life decision-making processes. Recent stated preference studies show that strategies used by respondents in hypothetical settings are consistent with how they normally process information in real markets....

The issue of attribute non-attendance (ANA) has been gaining increasing attention in the field of choice modeling. While the modeling issues, effects on parameter estimation, and, to a lesser degree, causes of ANA have been the main concern of research in this area, to date few studies have...

In recent years we have seen a burgeoning literature, within a discrete choice modelling setting, focussing on capturing increased behavioural realism in decision making through the use of alternative specifications of the utility function. One notable example is the increasing popularity of the...

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...

In this paper we extend the independent availability logit and combined latent class mixed logit models to accommodate respondents with different consideration sets due to their cost thresholds and cut-offs. Pertinent features of our model are that it is estimated in WTP-space and that the...

Attribute non-attendance in stated choice experiments (CE) has gained attention in literature, with some studies finding that not all respondents attend to all attributes. While the current studies show that taking non-attendance into account can significantly influence survey results, it is not...
