Eliciting Public Values for Complex Policy Decisions

Keeney, Ralph L.; Winterfeldt, Detlof von; Eppel, Thomas - In: Management Science 36 (1990) 9, pp. 1011-1030

Several approaches exist to illuminate and clarify public values relevant for making public policy decisions. These include surveys, indirect and direct value elicitation, focus groups and public involvement. This paper describes a new approach, called the public value forum, which combines...

Elimination-By-Cutoffs

Manrai, Ajay K.; Sinha, Prabhakant - In: Marketing Science 8 (1989) 2, pp. 133-152

This paper presents Elimination-By-Cutoffs (EBC), an individual-level model of choice which derives choice probabilities from the location of choice alternatives in a perceptual space. EBC is a multidimensional operationalization of Tversky's (Tversky, A. 1972. Elimination by aspects: A theory...

Preferences for Proxy Attributes

Fischer, Gregory W.; Damodaran, Nirmala; Laskey, Kathryn B. - In: Management Science 33 (1987) 2, pp. 198-214

A proxy attribute is an indirect measure of an ultimate decision objective. Keeney and Raiffa (Keeney, R. L., H. Raiffa. 1976. Decisions with Multiple Objectives: Preferences and Value Tradeoffs. John Wiley, New York.) argued that assessing utility functions over proxy attributes requires...
