By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextSeries: Chapman & Hall/CRC the R seriesPublication details: Boca Raton : CRC Press, c2015.Description: xvii, 238 pages : illustrations ; 25 cmISBN:
  • 9781439890479 (hardcover : acidfree paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 000SA.08 23 Ai311
Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Contingent valuation -- 3. Discrete choice experiments -- 4. Best-worst scaling -- 5. Basic operations in R-- Appendices-- Bibliography-- Index.
Summary: It is wonderful to finally see a book on how to use R to estimate the welfare measures commonly used in nonmarket valuation studies. The authors provide a set of R functions for some of the procedures most commonly used with stated preference data. Just as important, like almost all R functions, the user can see how these functions were coded as a way of understanding how they work and how new functions can be created. Using R opens up a very wide range of statistical procedures and visualization tools that will allow researchers to look at their stated preference data in new ways.
