One instance of the online survey involving choice experiments concerning cap-and-trade programs. We employ many more images than we have used in earlier surveys. The choice tasks in this survey concern cap-and-trade programs that will reduce carbon emissions by a specified percent at some number of dollars per month in household costs. However, the programs are differentiated in terms of their distributtional consequences in county-level labor markets, the percent of permits auctioned, and the uses for this auction revenue.
One instance of the online survey involving choice experiments concerning carbon reduction programs in higher education. Our university wished to understand the willingness of its stakeholders to bear the higher costs of switching to green energy for the campus. The main features of alternative programs are the percent decrease in carbon emissions that would be achieved, and the cost per year to the respondent. But these programs also differ in their distributional consequences, i.e., how the costs of the program would be borne and how the revenue thus collected would be used.
One instance of the online survey involving choice experiments concerning private health risk reductions. The choice tasks in this survey invite respondents to choose between alternative health risk reduction programs, each described in terms of the particular illness, their future age at which the illness would begin, the prognosis, the percent risk reduction the program would deliver, and the cost per month of the program. Each illness was described as a future illness profile, to permit modeling of willingness to pay for avoided illness-years as well as avoided premature mortality.
One instance of the online survey involving choice experiments concerning public health risk reductions. This "prevention" variant employed choice tasks concerning environmental policies that would reduce specific categories of pollutants that cause different specific types of illness. Policies varied in terms of the number of years they would remain in effect, how many people would get sick with and without the policy, how many would die with and without the policy, and the cost to the respondent.
One instance of the online survey involving choice experiments concerning public health risk reductions. This "treatment" survey employed choice tasks concerning public policies that would (1) treat children, adults and seniors (in different proportions) who have a specific type of illness. Policies also varied in terms of (2) how many people would get sick over a specified number of future years, (3) how many would recover fully without and with the policy, (4) how many deaths would occur with and without the policy, and (5) the cost per month to the respondent.
