Abstract Altruistic preferences have been found to be important for explaining the substantial non-use values identified in numerous stated preference surveys. However, studies analysing effect of altruism on willingness pay (WTP) underestimated challenges measuring by measures. We exploit a naturally occurring decision domain investigate role studies. employ novel dataset, collected from an In...

In some, but not all, contexts, respondents to stated preference valuation studies state a willingness to pay (WTP) higher than what lab or field experiments indicate is the actual amount they would pay. However, several ex ante survey design strategies and ex post calibration techniques can be used to minimize or eliminate hypothetical bias. This article reviews and presents evidence on the ef...

Historically, son preference has been widely prevalent in South Asia, manifested the form of skewed sex ratios, gender differentials child mortality, and worse educational investments daughters versus sons. In present study, we show, using data from a purposefully designed nationally representative survey for Bangladesh, that among women childbearing age, bias stated fertility preferences weake...

It is often difficult to determine what actually was done in work involving data collected with stated preference surveys because the terms used to describe various procedures have ambiguous and sometimes conflicting meanings. Further, terms used to describe data collection procedures often are confounded with terms used to describe statistical techniques. We call for the use of a common nomenc...

The development of alternative fuelled vehicle technology is a key strategy towards environmental sustainability and improved air quality in cities. Analysis of the role of vehicle technology in fulfilling sustainability targets requires estimates of future vehicle demand. The inability to observe actual car-type preferences for cleaner vehicles has led researchers to the development of stated ...
