Abstract We compare two approaches for estimating the distribution of consumers' willingness to pay ( WTP ) in discrete choice models. The usual procedure is estimate utility coefficients and then derive , which ratio coefficients. alternative directly. apply both data on site Alps. find that approach fits better, reduces incidence exceedingly large estimated values, provides analyst with greater control specifying testing .
<i>Rock climbers are likely to exhibit preference heterogeneity dictating the way with which such sport is practiced. This has a reflection on population's structure of recreational values rock-climbing destinations, their attributes, and land management policies. We test this hypothesis panel destination choices by sample members Italian Alpine Club. Using latent-class, random utility approach we find evidence in support that there at least four classes sample, thereby revealing...
Land management in Alpine parks provides multifunctional services to separate groups of users. Choice experiments can be used derive estimates value for different attributes. However, little research has been conducted on how frequently respondents ignore attributes describe policy scenarios. We fill this gap using an approach that identifies and compares both serial choice task attribute nonattendance addressing five visitor types. Our results indicate accounting significantly improves...
Practitioners of outdoor sports, such as rock-climbers, are likely to exhibit preference heterogeneity that depends on the 'keenness' with which sports practiced. Such an intuition is born out in at least one study using latent class discrete choice modelling (Provencher et al. 2002). Preference has a reflection population's structure recreational values assigned rock-climbing destinations, their attributes and ultimately land management policies addressing attributes.
In this paper, we investigate consumer preferences for various environmentally friendly production systems carrots. We use discrete choice multi‐attribute stated preference data to explore the effect of collective reputation growers from an Alpine valley with established its production: Val di Gresta ‘the organic orchards.’ Data analysis panel responses identifies unobserved taste heterogeneity organic, biodynamic, and place origin along extra variance associated experimentally designed...
The presentation delivers insights addressing the concepts fundamental to linkages between climate change education and our societal dynamics, including examples of impacts at European scale. Green Deal Education for Sustainable Development are core frameworks ensuring that plays a pivotal role in achieving adaptation, mitigation sustainable development goals.Climate stands as one most critical challenges time, given intensified extreme events on socio-ecological systems. Addressing...
Preferences for attributes of complex goods may differ substantially among members households. Some these goods, such as tap water, are jointly supplied at the household level. This issue jointness poses a series theoretical and empirical challenges to economists engaged in nonmarket valuation studies. While results have already been obtained literature, how empirically measure differences, sensitive choice model specification from same data, is yet be clearly understood. In this paper we...
Abstract We report the results of a study based on revealed and stated preference data choice Prosecco wines in retail stores close to origin production Northern Italy. Emphasis is placed ability reconcile utility structure with that underlying data. extend analysis cover nonattendance key attributes, such as price certification origin, while controlling for large range brand effects.
Conciliating nature conservation and tourism development is an increasingly important task for authorities in charge of managing protected areas requires adequate knowledge visitors′ preferences recreational behavior. In this light, we used data collected by means a choice experiment to investigate at Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, area located Northeastern Italy. More specifically, analyzed the determinants visitors’ decisions engage with different activities park. This information park...
