Análisis de la metodología de los puntos de corte para la identificación de las respuestas “inconsistentes” en los modelos de elección discreta

Abstract

In the choice experiment method respondents are typically assumed to hold a perfectly rational selection rule. However, individuals may use other selection rules when choosing the preferred alternative to simplify the choice. In this paper, we make use of the “cutoffs” model to as a way of handling the non-compensatory nature of choices. Furthermore, we extend it to allow consideration of inconsistencies in choice in stated preference choice data. We find that this allows a better fitting model to be estimated, and that it produces considerable effects on the implied willingness to pay.
