The aim of this research is to aid winery managers in bundling a plethora of different service features to meet the wine tourists' expectations. A discrete choice model using best-worst scaling (BWS) data is estimated to obtain the relative importance of the attributes included in the analysis....

Die Qualitätsbeurteilung von Wein stellt für Verbraucher beim Kauf eine besondere Herausforderung dar. In dieser Untersuchung wurden die Präferenzen von Konsumenten von Öko-Lebensmitteln für Wein analysiert, um die relative Bedeutung verschiedener Produkteigenschaften für die...

Using a representative survey with 1317 individuals and 12,815 moral decisions, we elicit Swedish citizens' preferences on how algorithms for self-driving cars should be programmed in cases of unavoidable harm to humans. Participants' choices in different dilemma situations (treatments) show...

A range of empirical approaches to representing preference heterogeneity have emerged in choice modelling. Researchers have been able to explore the differences which selection of a particular approach makes to welfare measures in a particular dataset, and indeed have been able to implement a...

Despite the vital role of the utility function in welfare measurement, the implications of working with incorrect utility specifications have been largely neglected in the choice experiments literature. This paper addresses the importance of specification with a special emphasis on the effects...

Recent work by Kahneman and others has led to a new focus in economics on a wellbeing-based approach to utility. This suggests that ‘experienced utility’ is an alternative and more appropriate basis for the measurement of economic value compared with ‘decision utility’. In this paper, we...

Stated choice models based on the random utility framework are becoming increasingly popular inthe applied economics literature. The need to account for respondents’ preference heterogeneity insuch models has motivated researchers in agricultural, environmental, health and transporteconomics...

Despite the vital role of utility functional form in welfare measurement, the implicationsof working with incorrect utility specifications have not been examined in the choiceexperiments (CE) literature. This paper addresses the importance of the specification ofboth non-monetary attributes and...

In stated choice (SC) data inconsistent and lexicographic choice behavior is often observed. It is sometimes recommended to remove data with these characteristics from the analysis. In this paper we reconsider this recommendation. In our data many respondents have inconsistent choice patterns,...

Popular urban tourist destinations are attracting large numbers of both overnight visitors and excursionists. Since urban cities perform a multitude of functions, the space requirements of tourists can, at times, interfere with those of local users. This paper addresses the issue of disutilities...
