“…Assume that the entire unit of analysis is categorized into unobservable q classes and individuals belonging to the same class are assumed to have a common preference structure. Based on the random utility theory, we assume that the utility function of individual n belonging to q class for alternative j in choice situation t can be expressed as (McFadden 1974;Greene & Hensher 2003;Woo et al 2017):…”

Access to clean and adequate drinking water supply has a significant contribution to public health and the economies of developing nations. However, leaders in developing countries continue to experience challenges in their attempt to provide citizens access to safe drinking water. This study examines residents’ preferences for improved water service supply attributes in the Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia. Using a conjoint experiment survey from 450 residents, the study estimates part-worth valuation for each attribute and shows that preference for future water service is heterogeneous. Finally, the researchers confirmed that the resident is willing to pay up to 75% surcharges on their current bill for improved drinking water supply.

“…Considering consumers’ perspectives, one of the remarkable changes in electric power services is the dramatic increase in interest on green electricity. 14,15 Until few years ago, people did not seriously consider the importance of green electricity, though many industrialized countries have moved to renewable energy sources as a source of electricity. In fact, governments of various countries attempted to move to renewable energy to meet their goal of greenhouse gas mitigation, and substantially invested in green electricity and actively promoted it to the public.…”

This paper aims to empirically investigate consumers’ preference structures and their willingness to pay for key features of future residential electric power services that they have not experienced in the regulated market. Using a choice experiment based on conjoint survey and applying a mixed logit model, we quantitatively estimate individual utility functions for certain important attributes such as type of service-providing company, installation of smart meter devices, introduction of E-prosumer groups, relaxation of progressive electricity billing system, and share of renewable energy in the generation mix. The analysis reveals that households prefer installation of smart meter devices and introduction of E-prosumer groups, and are willing to pay 10,044 KRW/year (USD 8.97/year) and 5,222 KRW/year (USD 4.66/year), respectively, for these services. However, households dislike the participation of privately-owned companies under the competitive market structure, owing to the possibility of a rise in the electricity price.

“…To overcome this problem, a researcher may consider using a latent class logit model [50,51] or mixed logit model [52,53]. In this study, we used the mixed logit model, since it can analyze the preference heterogeneity of respondents using various types of distributions [45].…”

Abstract:This study analyzes different attitudes toward introduction of smart policing technologies in cybercrime policing among the Korean public and police. Policing is essential for a sustainable community. Technological advances in policing have both positive and negative aspects, making it essential to investigate perceptions of both public and police when introducing smart policing technologies. A discrete choice experiment was undertaken to survey preferences of the public and police toward introduction of such technologies and conduct simulation analysis to compare changes in the acceptance of various scenarios. The study divides cybercrime policing into prevention and investigation. The sample included 500 members of the public and 161 police officers. The results show that the public thinks an increase in yearly taxes and invasion of privacy are the most important factors. Conversely, the police think factors enhancing the efficiency of policing are most important. Moreover, when smart policing technologies are introduced, the public and police perceive more utility in the prevention and investigation of cybercrime, respectively. Few studies in this field separate the prevention and investigation of crimes, or compare perceptions of the public and police toward the introduction of smart policing technologies. This study's quantitative analysis provides insights lacking in previous literature.
