It has been suggested that the nature of the task within a multi-attribute multi-alternative choice experiment may be sufficiently complex to make it difficult for individuals to develop response strategies to strategically bias their answers. This experiment tested that hypothesis by setting...

Vietnam has negotiated a series of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements and has madesignificant steps in integrating into the world economy. This integration is likely to have bothpositive and negative effects on different stakeholders in the economy. This paper seeks tomeasure the...

This study uses panel data at suburb level to estimates the elasticity water demands inPerth, Australia from 1995 to 2005. After deriving the consumer’s water demand under anon-linear budget constraint, we estimate the water demand model, which accounts forhow water (and other purchased goods)...

The introduction of measurement bias in parameter estimates into non-linear discrete choice models,as a result of using factor analysis, was identified by Train et al. (1987). They found that the inclusionof factor scores, used to represent relationships amongst like variables, into a subsequent...

Conventional empirical demand systems normally take prices to be exogenous, and determine the quantities demanded. Although this is logical for the individual consumer, at the market level the aggregate quantity traded may be exogenously determined, while the price vector changes to ensure...

Several airlines in Australia have initiated voluntary carbon offset (VCO) programs, called 'Fly Carbon Neutral', to encourage their customers to offset the carbon emissions of their flight. A VCO scheme aims to 'neutralise' emissions from a particular activity, by compensating with carbon...

Green electricity products are increasingly made available to consumers in many countries in an effort to address a number of environmental and social concerns. Most of the existing literature on this green electricity market focuses on consumer's characteristics and product attributes that...

We investigate the market in bespoke essays from commercial providers which students buy to submit at their University. We conduct choice experiments at 3 universities to investigate students’willingness to enter the market. Half of the sample reveal a willingness to buy. We identify...

This paper presents an alternative perspective on the process by which respondents consider options within choice experiments. Building on the “new” model of consumer demand by Stigler and Becker (1977), it suggests that the attributes within choice experiments are not valued directly, but...

This working paper utilises the choice modelling technique to investigate how information and understanding influences preferences of the general public for conservation of natural environments, specifically the tropical waterways and wetlands of the Kimberley region in Western Australia. The...
