Research Findings

Traditional decompositional preferences and choice studies are focused on the prediction of single choices, such as choice of shopping centre or transport mode. Discrete choice experiments are used to derive choice models that predict the probability of choosing a choice alternative as a function of its attributes. In this paper these traditional models are extended by addressing the problem of sequential choice behaviour. It is demonstrated how discrete choice experiments and universal logit models may be used to predict a choice sequence. The approach is illustrated for the problem of trip chaining. The research findings support the suggested approach.

Definition Of

Prevalence-induced concept change is the process by which the definition of a concept can shift as the prevalence of that concept changes. In a series of beautiful experiments, Levari and colleagues (2018) demonstrated that prevalence-induced concept change occurs across a range of situations, from color perception to threat assessment to ethical judgment. Here we show that in all of these cases the extent of prevalence-induced concept change is accounted for by sequential effects in which previous stimuli and responses bias the upcoming categorization. Crucially, these sequential effects are always active, even when the prevalence is does not change. Thus, by modeling these effects, we were able to predict the magnitude of prevalence-induced concept change based on participants’ behavior when the prevalence is fixed. This suggests that sequential effects are the mechanism by which prevalence-induced concept change occurs.

Non Point Source Pollution

The search for solutions to the problem of non-point source pollution (NSP) includes alternatives based on theories associated with the use of tradable pollution permits. Tradable permit programs have received significant support as a promising policy for the reduction of effluent discharges but programs in practice have not been regarded as successful. The lack of success is ascribed to the design of the programs. However, this may be a design problem which is insurmountable due to the nature of the NSP problem. Tradable permit solutions are based on an assumption that the assignation of quantifiable rights to both point and nonpoint sources, based on some predetermined ambient water quality measure, is possible. The conclusion here is that there are significant features particular to NSP that hinder the introduction of rights and significantly decrease the utility of tradable permit solutions.
