Estimation on Stated - Preference Experiments Constructed from Revealed - Preference Choices ∗ by Kenneth Train and Wesley W
نویسنده
چکیده
Transportation researchers have recently introduced a stated-preference (sp) method in which the attributes of the sp alternatives are based on the choice that the respondent made in a real-world setting. This practice can enhance the realism of the sp task and the efficacy of preference revelation. However, the practice creates dependence between the sp attributes and unobserved factors, contrary to the independence assumption that is maintained for standard estimation procedures. We describe a general estimation method that accounts for this nonindependence and give specific examples based on standard and mixed logit specifications of utility. We show conditions under which standard estimation methods are consistent despite the non-independence. We illustrate the general methodology through an application to shippers’ choice of route and mode along the Columbia/Snake River system. ∗We benefited greatly from comments and suggestions by Eric Bradlow, Paul Burke, David Hensher, Jordan Louviere, Daniel McFadden, and John Rose. We are grateful for generous support from the Navigation Economic Technologies (NETS) program of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Institute for Water Resources, under the direction of Keith Hofseth.

Estimation on stated-preference experiments constructed from revealed-preference choices
Constructing stated-preference (sp) experiments from a choice that the respondent made in a revealed-preference setting can enhance the realism of the sp task and the efficacy of preference revelation.

متن کاملMonte Carlo analysis of SP-off-RP data
SP-off-RP questions are a recent innovation in choice modelling that solicits information from respondents in a different way than standard stated-preference (SP) experiments. In particular, the alternatives and choice of a respondent in a real-world setting are observed, and the respondent is asked whether he/she would choose the same alternative or switch to another alternative if the attribu...
متن کاملJoint Estimation of Revealed and Stated Preference Data: An Application to Recreational Red Snapper Valuation
This study extends the joint estimation of revealed and stated preference data literature by accounting for truncation in the revealed preference data. The analytical model and estimation procedure are used to estimate the value of recreational red snapper fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. This recreational red snapper valuation is decomposed into its direct and indirect components. As expected, t...
متن کاملImposed cost induced by traffic injuries on society in 2021
Background and Aim: Due to the importance of the cost of traffic injuries, in addition to mental and social suffering, as well as the increasing trend of accident statistics and the lack of information about the cost estimation based on a willingness to pay model, this research was conducted on the findings of traffic injuries in 2021. Materials and Methods: The research was done by descr...
متن کاملStated preference analysis of travel choices: the state of practice
Stated preference (SP) methods are widely used in travel behaviour research and practice to identify behavioural responses to choice situations which are not revealed in the market, and where the attribute levels offered by existing choices are modified to such an extent that the reliability of revealed preference models as predictors of response is brought into question. This paper reviews rec...
