Valuation of health changes with the contingent valuation method: a test of scope and question order effects.

abstract：:When health insurance reforms involve non-linear price schedules tied to payment periods (for example, fees levied by quarter or year), the empirical analysis of its effects has to take the within-period time structure of incentives into account. The analysis is further complicated when demand data are obtained from a...
