Further Beyond Conjoint Measurement: Toward a Comparison of Methods
An extensive body of research in marketing and related areas concerns the collection and analysis of data to assess preference formation by individuals. Alternative methods are available to analyze the information. Based on synthetic data, metric…
Implementation of an Interactive Graphics Model for Design of School Boundaries
This paper contains a description of an interactive graphics model for the design of school boundaries which has been implemented in two settings. The first involved a school district in which the Superintendent and his staff used the system to…
Incentive Contracting for National Defense: A Problem of Optimal Risk Sharing
This paper analyzes risk sharing in Defense contracting within an insurance framework with moral hazard present. The positive model specifies conditions under which risk sharing between the firm and the government can be expected to occur, and…
Independence and Calibration in Decision Analysis
An individual is said to be potentially miscalibrated if he is not sure whether his future subjective probability assessments will agree with observed frequency. Alternately, the individual is said to be uncertain about his own calibration. It…
Industry Differences in the Relationship Between Advertising and Profitability
The assumption that the relationship between market structure variables and profitability is the same across industries is critically examined. Using observations on food, tobacco and cosmetic firms, the null hypothesis of equal coefficient…
