Market Segmentation within Contingent Valuation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A finite probability mixture model is combined with a contingent valuation model to analyze the existence of differential market segments in a hypothetical market. The approach has at least two principle benefits. First, the model is capable of identifying market segments within the hypothetical market. Second, the model can be used to estimate WTP/WTA within each segment. The model is illustrated using a data set collected on consumer response to genetically modified foods in Norway.

Calculating equilibrium prices for this market, we obtain a valuation for electricity contingent claims which is fair in the sense that arbitrage is excluded for capacity and claim trading.
متن کاملAn Analytic Valuation Method for Multivariate Contingent Claims with Stochastic Volatility
In this paper, we provide an analytic valuation method for European-type contingent claims with multiple underlying assets under a stochastic market environment. We employ a twostate Markov regime-switching volatility in order to reflect the stochastically-changing market environment. The method is developed by exploiting the probability densities of the occupation times for which the underlyin...
متن کاملAustralasian environmental economics: contributions, conflicts and ‘cop-outs’*
Australian and New Zealand environmental economists have played a significant role in the development of concepts and their application across three fields within their subdiscipline: non-market valuation, institutional economics and bioeconomic modelling.
