Switzerland features strong socio-economic segregation and no formal school choice, making residential relocation the only channel through which parents can access preferred schools. Identifying how parents value school attributes is therefore essential but challenging, given that choices bundle...

An extensive literature has documented the incentive effect of emigration prospects in terms of human capital accumulation at origin. Less attention has been paid to the impact on specific educational choices. Using novel data from graduates from the University of Lorraine (France) we find that...

Dynamic social norms have been recognized as a promising approach to promote energy sufficiency. By highlighting trends and future shifts rather than current states, dynamic norms allow for a better focus on emerging norms that are not widely adopted. While existing studies predominantly examine...

This paper develops a tractable framework in which heterogeneity, captured by the distribution of agent characteristics within an alternative (sector, location, or occupation), emerges endogenously in equilibrium through selection rather than being imposed exogenously. I show that widely used...

Debates about gig work often frame flexibility and social protection as substitutes. This paper shows that gig workers value different forms of flexibility in distinct ways and may simultaneously demand greater social protection. Using survey-based discrete-choice experiments among digital...

Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained on a prodigious corpus of human writing and may reveal human preferences over characteristics of life courses, such as income, longevity, and working conditions. We present OpenAI's GPT-5.4 and a broadly representative sample of Americans with pairs of...

Decisions about what we consume have environmental repercussions and, therefore, implications for future generations. Consumers' ability to pay more for sustainable food stimulates production strategies, like circular agriculture, aiding the European Green Deal's sustainable food system. With...

A university degree is a risky investment because of the non-negligible risk of having to drop out of university without graduating. However, the costs of this risk are controversial, as it is often argued that even an uncertified year of study has a value in the labor market. To determine this...

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...

Using a discrete choice experiment (DCE), we analyze how social comparisons and financial information influence households' preferences and trade-offs among three sustainable electricity demand behaviors: conservation actions, efficiency investments, and purchasing a green power mix. Our results...

Individuals trade present for future consumption across a range of economic behaviors, and this tradeoff may differ across socioeconomic groups. To assess these tradeoffs, we estimate a dynamic model of residential solar adoption and system sizing in California using household-level data on...

Promoting household-level adaptation measures is an important part of climate change adaptation policies to reduce vulnerability to droughts for (agro-)pastoral communities in sub-Saharan Africa. To develop effective supportive policies, it is important to get a better understanding of the needs...

Bio-based materials incorporated into clothing, sourced from biomass, offer potential advantages by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing the environmental impact of the fashion sector. This paper explores the preferences of young adult consumers for sneakers featuring bio-based...

The objective of the research is to examine the effects of product attributes on consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for organic oranges in the Mekong Delta and estimate the consumers' WTP for each attribute. The study used survey data from 413 households in the Mekong Delta from March 2022 to...

This study estimates individuals' willingness to pay for pension benefits using a discrete choice experiment with fictitious job advertisements conducted among workers in the United Kingdom (UK). The results indicate that workers are willing to trade off current pay for additional pension...

This study uses a quantitative approach based on a discrete choice experiment with 586 farmers in Northern Vietnam to measure how representative market and non-market factors could influence their preferences for participating in organic certification schemes. Our results suggest that a sales...

We propose a new way to obtain identification results using order statistics as finite mixtures with two key properties: i) the weights are known integer numbers; and ii) the elements of the mixture are the distributions of the maximum over a subset of the original random variables. We leverage...

This study investigates consumer preferences for passenger battery electric vehicles and their joint adoption with a residential solar photovoltaic system in Greece, where electric vehicle uptake remains low. Using discrete choice experiments, we analyse the preferences of 891 potential car...
