Despite increasing popularity, quality improvement programs (QIP) have had modest and variable impacts on enhancing the quality of physician practice. We investigate the heterogeneity of physicians’ preferences as a potential explanation of these mixed results in France, where the national...

Discrete choice models are usually derived from the assumption of random utility maximization. We consider the reverse problem, whether choice probabilities are consistent with maximization of random utilities. This leads to tests that consider the variation of these choice probabilities with...

In this paper we analyze the potential demand for privately used alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), based on a nationwide survey in Germany among (potential) car buyers. For this purpose, we applied a stated preference discrete choice experiment, using a wide range of vehicle alternatives...

This paper develops nonparametric methods for welfare‐analysis of economic changes in the common setting of multinomial … consumer surplus becomes path‐dependent, but Hicksian welfare remains well‐defined. We demonstrate that under completely … unrestricted preference‐heterogeneity and income‐effects, the distributions of Hicksian welfare are point‐identified from …

Electric mobility and renewable energy play key roles in the global energy transition. In this context, vehicle- to-grid technology, which enables bidirectional energy ŕow between electric vehicles and the grid, could make electric vehicles usable as energy storage units, thus supporting grid...

This study explored the view that distributors have towards the most valued wine attributes by consumers in the US market, applying the discrete choice experiments technique. Furthermore, to explore the extent to which the distributors' perspective may reflect consumers' preferences, the results...

Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) often present concise choice scenarios that may appear incomplete to respondents. To allow respondents to express uncertainty arising from this incompleteness, DCEs may ask them to state probabilities with which they expect to make specific choices. The...
