A 20+ Years’ Retrospective on Choice Experiments

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: International Series in Quantitative Marketing ((ISQM,volume 14))

Abstract

Paul Green inspired many of us who work in conjoint analysis and related areas, such as stated preference discrete choice experiments, and all of us who undertake research in understanding and modeling preferences have benefited from his work. Knowing Paul Green, his impact and contributions will continue during his “retirement.” Our thanks to him for so many of the advances that we now often take for granted, but without which we would not be where we are today.
