Applied welfare economics with discrete choice models: implications of theory for empirical specification
Written in collaboration with Nicolas Ibanez of the European Commission's JRC, this paper reveals restrictive properties of the popular ‘log sum’ consumer surplus measure. The paper was presented at the International Choice Modelling Conference 2011, and was one of eight session papers selected for publication in this peer-reviewed book. Following from this (and related) papers, Batley has contributed expertise on travel choice and economic appraisal to projects including the social impacts of public transport (RG.TRAN.483520, with Mott MacDonald for DfT, contact: Rishi Mandavia, DfT) and the ACTUM activity model (RG.TRAN.482358, contact: Goran Vuk, Danish Roads Directorate).
