Consumer benefits of labels and bans on geneticallymodified food - An empirical analysis using ChoiceExperiments
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Applying an experiment on the choice of consumer goods, we show that Swedish consumers do not regard genetically modified (GM) food as being equivalent to conventional food. A central argument by proponents of GM is that the end products are identical to those where GM has not been used. That respondents in our survey disagree with this argument is supported by two observations. First, a positive significant WTP is found for a mandatory labeling policy. This result confirms previous observations that GM food can be a credence good causing a market failure. Second, consumers are also willing to pay a significantly higher product price to ensure a total ban on the use of GM in animal fodder. Even if scientists and politicians argue that most of today´s GM food is indistinguishable from GM-free food, consumers disagree.

Consumer willingness to pay for farm animal welfare - transportation of farm animals to slaughter versus the use of mobile abattoirs
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study employed a choice experiment (CE) to ascertain consumer preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for non-market food product quality attributes. Data were obtained from a large mail survey and estimated with a random parameter logit model. The results indicate that Swedish consumers place greater monetary worth on the use of mobile abattoirs for cattle than for pigs, and even place a negative monetary value for mobile abattoirs in broiler production. We show how CE data can be used to estimate individual WTP, using a random parameter logit model. We find that there is a substantial difference in heterogeneity between consumers WTP for mobile abattoirs for the types of livestock included. Based on estimated distributions of WTP and available cost estimates, the market share for mobile abattoirs is predicted. The approach taken is vital to agribusinesses intending to serve specialized niche markets. Our results are useful for forming product differentiation strategies within the food industry as well as for the formation of food policy.

Farm Animal Welfare- testing for market failure
- 2003
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Our increasingly heterogeneous food is at least partly due to concerns over conventional production of farm livestock. Some of these new products have been demand driven while others are a result of politically decided restrictions on production techniques. From a policy perspective, the interesting question is whether there exists a market failure. We suggest a survey design that enables the researcher to measure the eventual external market failures in farm livestock production. Applying this survey design to the question of battery cages in egg production, we cannot show that there exists a market failure. The policy implications are applicable to not only the question of egg production, they can be extended to a general discussion of how potential market failures for all kind of farm livestock should be managed. Logically, if an external effect cannot be shown, the consumer is better off herself making the choice of how her food is produced.

Preferences With and Without Prices - does the price attribute affect behavior in stated preference surveys?
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The experimental as well as the nonmarket valuation literature include several examples of how an introduced price can affect behavior in otherwise not expected ways. It has become standard to include a price vector as an attribute in choice experiments, something that enables us to estimate a marginal willingness to pay for other attributes. We test the impact on preferences by an inclusion of a price in a choice experiment. Preferences are affected, as might be expected. However, also the relative ranking of individual attributes is affected. We end on a positive note, observing that a price seems to drive out zero price opinions, e.g. warm glow values.

Using Cheap-Talk as a Test of Validity in Choice Experiments
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In two experiments on the choice of consumer goods, the estimated marginal willingness to pay for food are found to be lower in the survey version with cheap talk. Our test can be seen as a test of hypothetical bias. This implies we cannot reject the hypothesis of a hypothetical bias for marginal WTP in choice experiments.

Hur kan staten främja användandet av digitaliseringens möjligheter i näringslivet?
- 2018
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- REGERINGENS MÅL är att Sverige ska vara bäst i världen på att använda digitaliseringens möjligheter. Den här rapporten visar att digitalisering driver produktivitet och tillväxt samt att graden av digitalisering skiljer sig mellan sektorer och företagsstorlekar. Utifrån detta föreslås i rapporten hur digitaliseringspolitiken kan utvecklas genom att i högre utsträckning anpassa den samlade stödbilden till företagens digitala transformation.
