The Becker–DeGroot–Marschak method (BDM), named after Gordon M. Becker, Morris H. DeGroot and Jacob Marschak for the 1964 Behavioral Science paper, "Measuring Utility by a Single-Response Sequential Method" is an incentive-compatible procedure used in experimental economics to measure willingness to pay (WTP).
According to the constructed preference view, consumer willingness to pay is a context-sensitive construct; that is, a consumer's WTP for a product depends on the concrete decision context. For example, consumers tend to be willing to pay more for a soft drink in a luxury hotel resort in comparison to a beach bar or a local retail store.
The travel cost method of economic valuation, travel cost analysis, or Clawson method is a revealed preference method of economic valuation used in cost–benefit analysis to calculate the value of something that cannot be obtained through market prices (i.e. national parks, beaches, ecosystems).
Contingent valuation surveys were first proposed in theory by S.V. Ciriacy-Wantrup (1947) as a method for eliciting market valuation of a non-market good.The first practical application of the technique was in 1963 when Robert K. Davis used surveys to estimate the value hunters and tourists placed on a particular wilderness area.
In contrast, the willingness to pay is defined by u ( w 0 − W T P , 0 ) = u ( w 0 , 1 ) . {\displaystyle u(w_{0}-WTP,0)=u(w_{0},1).} That is, the willingness to pay to avoid the adverse change equates the post-change utility, diminished by the presence of the adverse change (on the right side), with utility without the adverse change but with ...
The multiple price list format is a simple procedure where participants are asked to respond yes or no to a variety of prices for a commodity, and while doing so, reveal their willingness to pay. Traditionally, the multiple price list format has had three potential flaws, interval responses, the ability to switch answers between prices, and ...
The term "option value" and its theoretical underpinnings as a non-user benefit were initially developed in 1964 by Burton Weisbrod. [12] It was posited as an element of benefit distinct from the traditional concept of consumer surplus, and it depended on three factors: (1) uncertainty about future need for the asset, (2) irreversibility or high cost of replacement if the asset is lost, and (3 ...
An example of mental accounting is people's willingness to pay more for goods when using credit cards than if they are paying with cash. [1] This phenomenon is referred to as payment decoupling. Mental accounting (or psychological accounting ) is a model of consumer behaviour developed by Richard Thaler that attempts to describe the process ...
