AbstractIn this paper, the mixed logit (ML)using Bayesian methods was employed to examine willingness-to-pay (WTP)to consume bread produced with reduced levels of pesticides so as toameliorate environmental quality, from data generated by a choiceexperiment. Model comparison used the marginal likelihood, which ispreferable for Bayesian model comparison and testing. Models containingconstant and random parameters for a number of distributions wereconsidered, along with models in ‘preference space’ and ‘WTP space’ aswell as those allowing for misreporting. We found: strong support forthe ML estimated in WTP space; little support for fixing the pricecoefficient a common practice advocated and adopted in theenvironmental economics literature; and, weak evidence for misreporting.
