Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to:
- Describe theory and applications of discrete choice experiments in Agricultural, Food, and Environmental Economics
- Discuss the limitations of discrete choice experiments and when and when not a discrete choice experiment can be applied
- Develop and design discrete choice experiments
- Analyze data from discrete choice experiments with and without accounting for preference heterogeneity
- Discuss recent methodological advances and limitations of discrete choice experiments
Innehåll
- Theoretical models explaining discrete choices in a utility maximization framework
- Econometric models to estimate parameters of utility functions with discrete dependent variables
- Maximum Likelihood Estimation
- Principles of experimental design for discrete choice experiments
- Advanced discrete choice modeling and data analysis and recent methodological advances
Examinationsformer
- Students present one recent research paper in the field (assigned by the course leader not later than two weeks before the start of the course); they will also replicate at least part of the analysis of this paper. The exact requirements for the replication will be discussed individually with the examiners. - Students submit an assignment on experimental design (by December 6, 2024 the latest) - Students submit an assignment on data analysis (by December 6, 2024 the latest) - Students actively take part in the course and contribute to group discussions and seminars
