main findings are that in a Random Utility Model (RUM) discrete choice model, a subject’s scale should increase and the … variability of scale should decrease with experience if subjects are Bayesians. We then estimate the model using field data … increases scale, thereby makes consumer preferences more predictable from the econometrician’s perspective. We find supportive …

of information provided during a survey on the mean and the variance of individual-specific scale parameters. In this way … we incorporate both scale heterogeneity as well as observed and unobserved preference heterogeneity to investigate … preference data sets while controlling for scale differences. We illustrate our approach using the data from a discrete choice …

This paper develop and estimates a model of demand estimation for environmental public goods which allows for consumers to learn about their preferences through consumption experiences. We develop a theoretical model of Bayesian updating, perform comparative statics over the model, and show how...

This paper develops a model of demand estimation in which consumers learn about their true preferences through consumption experiences. We develop a theoretical model of Bayesian updating, perform comparative statics over the model, and show how the theoretical model can be consistently...

We evaluate the effectiveness of energy efficiency labeling in guiding household appliance choice decisions. Using a carefully designed choice experiment with several alternative labeling treatments, we disentangle the relative importance of different types of information and intertemporal...

This paper presents experimental evidence about how individuals learn from information that comes from inside versus outside their ethnic group. In the experiment, Thai subjects observed information that came from Americans and other Thais that they could use to help them answer a series of...
