Abstract

In most choice experiment studies in environmental economics, the attributes of non-traded environmental goods are communicated to respondents in the form of a table consisting of verbal descriptions. The table normally consists of attributes, their detailed descriptions, and levels. Thereafter, respondents are presented with a series of choice sets, which are often in the form […]
