Abstract

A total of 107 Danish students were posed a series of discrete choice questions in which they were to indicate which of two alternative jobs they would prefer. The job alternatives were described by way of four characteristics: monthly salary, working hours per week, possibility of having a home office and whether the job was in the public or the private sector. The results indicate that students studying business economics needed less compensation in terms of increased salary for longer working hours relative to students studying public economics or political sciences. The possibility of having a home office was very important amongst all types of students. Tests for consistency were incorporated into the study design. Almost all respondents responded consistently. Only a small minority of respondents demonstrated dominant preference structures.
