Abstract

The need to account for respondents’ preference heterogeneity in stated choice models has motivated researchers to apply random parameter logit and latent class models. In this paper we compare these three alternative ways of incorporating preference heterogeneity in stated choice models and evaluate how the choice of model affects welfare estimates in a given empirical application. Finally, we discuss what criteria to follow to decide which approach is most appropriate. RESUMEN - La necesidad de incorporar la heterogeneidad en las preferencias de los individuos en los modelos de elección discreta ha llevado a los investigadores a emplear siempre más frecuentemente modelos de parámetros aleatorios o de clases latentes. En este artículo se comparan tres diferentes alternativas de incorporar la heterogeneidad de las preferencias en los modelos de elección discreta y se determina el efecto que éstos tienen en la estimación de las medidas de bienestar para la conservación del paisaje de montaña. Por último se propone unos criterios a seguir para determinar que enfoque es más apropiado.
