Discrete choice models for wellbeing oriented policy making
report
The Early Research Program (ERP) “Wise Policy Making”, has the ambition to develop a methodology and tools that provide policymakers with support in prioritizing and steering towards societal wellbeing. As part of this ERP, a research team has dedicated their attention to an important aspect of wellbeing-oriented policy making; the choice behavior of humans. In order to quantify the impact of policy measures in terms of how people’ s choice will be distributed among the available options, a range of methods are applied,each of which has its strengths and shortcomings. In this way, we hope to arrive at a balanced prediction that performs optimally under the different conditions and time scales, taking into account quantitative, qualitative and human bias aspects that matter in people’s choice. This is a necessary, but not sufficient, step towards quantifying the subsequent impact of policy measures on human well-being.
