[EN] Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) is an increasingly used valuation method to guide policy-makers in their landscape management decision-making. However, due to time and budget constraints, conducting an original DCE ...
A More Flexible Model or Simply More Effort? On the Use of Correlated Random Parameters in Applied Choice Studies
(Elsevier, 2018-08-28)
The random parameter logit model has become the dominating model for analyzing stated choice data in environmental valuation. The unrestricted version of the model with correlated random parameters, however, is rarely ...
Interpreting correlated random parameters in choice experiments
(Elsevier, 2020-07-28)
The random parameter logit (RPL) model with uncorrelated coefficients is a restrictive version of the mixed logit model, but it is one of the most frequently used models for analysing stated choice data in environmental ...
Incorporating attitudes into the evaluation of preferences regarding agri-environmental practices
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021-08-07)
