PIH20 CONJOINT-ANALYSIS QALYS FOR ACUTE CONDITIONS

Multiattribute Structure for QALYs

H status is inherently a multiattribute construct. We examine multiattribute utility decompositions for the quality-adjusted life year (QALY) utility model commonly employed in medical decision and costeffectiveness analyses. We consider several independence conditions on preference, including the classical notions of preferential independence and utility independence, as well as new related no...

Minimal Conditions for Additive Conjoint Measurement and Qualitative Probability1

At the present time, there is one set of techniques for proving representation theorems for finite measurement structures an another set for infinite structures. Techniques for finite structures were developed in Scott (1964) and basically consist of solving finite sets of inequalities; techniques for infinite structures in one way or another resemble those used in Holder (1901) an d consist of...

Incentive-aligned Conjoint Analysis

Because most conjoint studies are conducted in hypothetical situations with no consumption consequences for the participants, the extent to which the studies are able to uncover “true” consumer preference structures is questionable. Experimental economics literature, with its emphasis on incentive alignment and hypothetical bias, suggests that more realistic incentivealigned studies will result...
