Three Essays on Choice -Based Estimations of the Economic Benefits of Contaminated Site Cleanup
… The first approach uses the standard conditional logit model. We integrate the market transaction data ex ante into the choice data which results in more realistic choice sets and avoids the problem of perfect collinearity in market data. The second approach focuses on the role of both observed …

Valuing biodiversity: Decision support for biosecurity response
… the values captured in the panel version of the Random Parameters Logit (RPL) model is integrated into CBA using risk simulation which utilises the means, standard deviations and correlation coefficients of risky variables to quantify the probability of achieving a positive Net Present Value of …

Consumer's preferences for goat meat in the United States : an application of choice-based conjoint analysis
… valued domestic over imported goat meat. The random parameters logit model and latent class logit model revealed heterogeneous preferences. In the latent class model, age, gender, and consumption frequency did fairly well in defining the class; however, overall the demographic variables failed …

Marine protected areas in the management of artisanal fisheries
… modelled fishers’ spatial behaviour, using a random utility framework and random parameters logit estimation. Fishers appeared sensitive to the expected catch, its variability, human risk and distance travelled. Expected catch and catch variability were modelled using a Just and Pope …

The Non-Market Value of Biodiversity Enhancement in New Zealand's Planted Forests
… non-market value of biodiversity enhancement, a random parameters logit model with error components is used to analyse choice data collected from 209 respondents across New Zealand. The panel nature of the choice data set is exploited to calculate the marginal willingness-to-pay (WTP) for …

Road User Charging: Acceptability and Effectiveness
… received. The analysis technique was based on random utility theory, which was used to formulate the multinomial-logit based models. The standard logit model was used to demonstrate the overall effects of variables for the whole sample. The segmentation model, based on the incremental factors, …

Assessing growth preferences on the rural-urban fringe using a discrete choice model and spatial analysis methods
Landscapes on the rural-urban fringe are experiencing change and diversification, yet the preferences of local residents for how these landscapes should develop is largely overlooked. My thesis contributes to a growing body of research that explores residents’ preferences for landscape change …

Economic Analysis of Infrastructure Investment and Irrigation Budget Issues in a Southwestern U.S. Water Utility
… from preference-space and WTP-space mixed logit models. In preference-space models, the MUI, whether heterogeneous or fixed, is the denominator of the MWTP ratio. WTP-space models estimate the MUI separately from the attribute coefficients that represent the MWTP. The resulting MWTP …
