This paper reports on the results from a split sample choice experiment, where the effect of changing the maximum level of the cost attribute is investigated. The hypothesis was that changing the maximum price level would either give rise to an income effect or have no effect on consumers'...

A choice experiment was conducted to elicit the extent to which consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for reducing Salmonella risks in minced pork depends on how risk reductions are obtained. Three different risk reduction methods were analysed: Risk reduction on the farm and decontamination of...

The German government is strongly involved in redistributing income. For various reasons such as the capacity to govern and social stability this makes a good un-derstanding of the citizens’ respective preferences and their informal coalitions ex-tremely important. The identification of such...

Danish farmers have been far less interested in agri-environmental subsidy schemes than anticipated. We use choiceexperiments to estimate 486 Danish farmers’ preferences for a number of policy relevant scheme-characteristics.Subsidy schemes for pesticide free buffer zones along hedgerows are...

The paper investigates to what extent context dependency is present, when consumers are introduced to different risk reducing technologies and how this will affect their preferences for reductions in food risks. In particular, choice experiments are used to elicit consumer preferences for...

A large random sample of the Danish general population was asked to value health improvements by way of both the time trade-off elicitation technique and willingness-to-pay (WTP) using contingent valuation methods. The data demonstrate a high degree of heterogeneity across respondents in their...

We explore what effect controlling for various patient characteristics beyond a case-mix index (DRG) has on inferences drawn about the relative cost performance of hospital departments. We estimate fixed effect cost models in which 3754 patients are clustered within six Danish vascular...
