Rejoinder to Hoppe on Indifference

Indifference can never be demonstrated by action. Quite the contrary. Every action necessarily signifies a choice, and every choice signifies a definite preference. Action specifically implies the contrary of indifference. . . . If a person is really indifferent between two alternatives, then he cannot and will not choose between them. Indifference is therefore never relevant for action and can...

On Edge-Colouring Indifference Graphs

Vizing's theorem states that the chromatic index 0 (G) of a graph G is either the maximum degree (G) or (G) + 1. A graph G is called overfull if jE(G)j > (G)bjV (G)j=2c. A suucient condition for 0 (G) = (G) + 1 is that G contains an overfull subgraph H with (H) = (G). Plantholt proved that this condition is necessary for graphs with a universal vertex. In this paper, we conjecture that, for ind...

Indifference or Misspecification? The Distributional Impacts of Indifference on Dichotomous Choice Contingent Valuation

Dichotomous choice (or Referendum) contingent valuation surveys have become the predominate choice for valuing goods and services otherwise not valued in a standard market (nonmarket goods and services). A number of researchers have recently recommended that dichotomous choice contingent valuation studies include a follow-up question to all no responses to determine whether the no response is a...
