In a controlled lab experiment, we investigate hypothetical biases in the value of time by comparing stated preference … times and monetary incentives. We find a substantial hypothetical bias with the average SP value of time being only 71% of … the corresponding RP value. The bias is mainly driven by participants who have scheduling constraints during the time of …

The sample selection model is based upon a bivariate or a multivariate structure, and distributional assumptions are in this context more severe than in univariate settings, due to the limited availability of tractable multivariate distributions. While the standard FIML estimation of the...

The South African wine industry has recently launched the world's first 'no sulphite added' wine made from indigenous Rooibos & Honeybush toasted wood chips. This wood chip contains antioxidant properties known to protect wine from oxidation. On the other hand, SO2 as a preservative, is often...

We develop and test guidance principles for benefits transfers. These argue that when transferring across relatively similar sites, simple mean value transfers are to be preferred but that when sites are relatively dissimilar then value function transfers will yield lower errors. The paper also...
