There is a growing body of evidence in the non-market valuation literaturesuggesting that responses to a sequence of discrete choice questions tend to violate theassumptions typically made by analysts regarding independence of responses andstability of preferences. Heuristics such as value...

Basic services in Finnish national parks and state-owned recreation areas have traditionally been publicly financed and thus free of charge for users. Since the benefits of public recreation are not captured by market demand, government spending on recreation services must be motivated in some...

In order to control for censoring and the integer nature of trip demand, the use of count ata models in travel cost analysis is attractive. Two such models, the Poisson and negative binomial, are discussed. Robust estimation techniques that loosen potentially stringent distributional assumptions...

The paper develops a theoretical foundation for using count data models in travel cost analysis. Two micro models are developed: a restricted choice model and a repeated discrete choice model. We show that both models lead to identical welfare measures.

In multiple bounded discrete choice (MBDC) surveys, respondents indicate how certain they would be to vote in favor of a policy at different prices by choosing, for example, among “definitely yes”, “probably yes”, “not sure”, “probably no”, and “definitely no” response...

Let U be an unobserved random variable with compact support and let e_t be unobserved i.i.d. random errors also with compact support. Observe the random variables V_t, X_t, and Y_t = 1{U +d X_t+e_t V_t}, t = T, where d is an unknown parameter. This type of model is relevant for many stated...

In many stated choice experiments researchers observe the random variables V_t , X_t , and Y_t = 1{U +δ X_t +e_t V_t }, t ≤ T , where δ is an unknown parameter and U and e_t are unobservable random variables. We show that under weak assumptions the distributions of U and e_t and also the...

The achievement of good environmental status (GES) of marine and coastal ecosystem services is specified in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This paper uses the choice experiment methodology (CE) to estimate the value of non-market benefits of marine and coastal ecosystem....
