Demand for health care in Denmark: results of a national sample survey using contingent valuation

A stated preference approach to assessing health care-quality improvements in Palestine: from theoretical validity to policy implications

“…Indeed, it can be argued that the payment card elicitation technique resembles respondents' behavior in their everyday life where they usually "shop around" looking at different prices before taking a purchasing decision. Moreover, some authors find that the arguments for using the referendum elicitation technique remain unpersuasive (Gyldmark and Morrison, 2001); and it seems beyond doubt that the referendum approach does not lead to "conservative" valuations as was initially thought to be case (Arrow et al, 1993;Ryan et al, 2004). On the other hand, a user-based payment vehicle was preferred over the often recommended insurance-based approach (Gafni, 1991;Arrow et al, 1993).…”

Cancer premiums and latency effects: A risk tradeoff approach for valuing reductions in fatal cancer risks

“…The first is dying in the very short term (e.g., within a year) in an auto accident (D) with probability P D , the second is contracting an eventually fatal cancer (C) with probability P C , and the third "normal health" or all other health outcomes (H). 4 3 There are also a number of recent studies that have estimated individuals' WTP for improved cancer treatment or health care programs (Dranitsaris 1999;Gyldmark and Morrison 2001;Shackley and Donaldson 2002;Luchini, Protière and Moatti 2003;Protière et al 2004); however, they provide somewhat limited insights regarding individuals' ex ante WTP for preventive measures that reduce their risks of contracting fatal cancers in the future. 4 In fact, Eq.…”

Stated preferences for the removal of physical pain resulting from permanently disabling occupational injuries

“…The 'embedding effect', also known as the part-whole bias, may occur if the respondent does not clearly distinguish between the subjects of a good, vis-à-vis the good in its entirety (Mitchell and Carson, 1989;Jones-Lee et al, 1993;Bateman et al, 1997;Beattie et al, 1998;Gyldmark and Morrison, 2001). Thus, to our knowledge, there have been very few works published in the literature on WTP dealing with the issue of the intangible costs of occupational injuries.…”
