Factors influencing the willingness to pay for agricultural information delivery technologies by cooperative-oriented agribusinesses in Rwanda: evidence from the Abahuzamugambi Coffee Growers Cooperative of Maraba.Haba, Sharon 29 August 2005 (has links)
This study was designed to identify the factors influencing the willingness to pay for agricultural information delivery technologies among the farmers in the Abahuzamugambi Coffee Growers Cooperative located in Butare, Rwanda. Three hundred and six farmers responded to a questionnaire that included questions about their demographic characteristics and accessibility to agricultural information technologies. Results were computed using the mean and standard deviation. T-tests and analysis of variance were conducted to determine the relationship between farmers?? demographic characteristics and their willingness to pay for selected agricultural information delivery technologies. Findings indicate that there was a correlation between farmers?? willingness to pay for agricultural information delivery technologies and some of their demographic characteristics. The farmer-to-farmer delivery technology was the most preferred as reflected by the amount of money that farmers were willing to pay for it compared to expert visits, print, radio, and television. Therefore, this technology was considered to be the most compatible with farmers?? needs in general.

The effects of price discount promotions on consumer responses. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection / Digital dissertation consortium / ProQuest dissertations and thesesJanuary 2011 (has links)
Finally, this thesis also identifies the antecedents, moderators and mediators that affect the role of anticipated regret on purchase intention. The results of the experimental study indicate the gender effect that female consumers generate more anticipated regret than males when confronting with price discount promotions. The results of comparison analysis demonstrate the sequence effect that, the effect of anticipated regret on purchase intention is larger if consumers are asked to anticipate regret of not purchasing the promotional item before their final purchase decision rather than if they are asked in the reverse sequence. The analysis results on the relationship between perceived value and anticipated regret indicate that anticipated regret is the mediator in the effect of perceived value on purchase intention. / Fourth, this thesis then studies the effect of price discount frequency on consumers' behavioral response with focusing on the affective stage of consumers' response and proposes a model that simultaneously considers consumers' attitude and anticipated regret. The results of an experimental study demonstrate that price promotion frequency negatively affects consumers' anticipated regret and purchase intention, and that the effect of promotion frequency on consumers' purchase intention is fully mediated by consumers' attitude towards the purchasing behavior together with consumers' anticipated regret. / Second, this thesis examines the effect of price discount framing on consumers' response, and proposes a price-value model to account for the effect of price discount framing on consumers' purchase intention. Results of two experiments indicate that price discount framing affects consumers' purchase intention through the full mediation of perceived value. The framing of dollar-based discount leads to higher perceived value and higher purchase intention than the framing of percentage-based discount; however, these effects are moderated by the degree of discount calculation difficulty and the price level of the promotional products. / The findings of this thesis have both potentially important theoretical significance for a better understanding of price discount promotion and practical implications for directing marketers to more effectively design their price discount promotion schemes. The research limitations of this thesis and future research directions are also discussed. / Third, the thesis investigates the effect of price discount depths on consumers' behavioral response. Under the means-end framework, this thesis extends the price-value model by including anticipated regret and proposes an integrated model to account for the mechanism that underlies consumers' behavioral response towards price discount promotion. The results of a survey study indicate that the proposed integrated model fits the data well, and that consumers' purchase intention is better explained and predicted by including consumers' anticipated regret in the model. / This thesis investigates how price discount promotion affects consumers' purchase decision making process with emphasis on the role of consumers' anticipated regret. Specifically, this thesis examines how the three important characteristics of price discount promotion (i.e., discount framing, promotion depth, and promotion frequency) affect consumers' behavioral response. First, this thesis provides a comprehensive review for the research literature regarding how price promotion affects consumers' response, making an in-depth discussion of the concept of anticipated regret, and then empirically identifying the effects of promotion framing, promotion depth, and promotion frequency on consumers' behavioral response. / Hao, Liaogang. / Advisers: Jianmin Jia; Samart Powpaka. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-06, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2011. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 146-159). / Electronic reproduction.

A study on user motive and willingness-to-pay of financial content websiteLin, Chih-feng 14 August 2001 (has links)
Owing to the NASDAQ crash, the development of
internet advertisement is somewhat sluggish. The
ICP owners have to to find a new model to
servive; thus, they plan to gain cashflow from
the users. The content of financial websites is
relatively uniqe, so this study will focus on the
user motive and willingness-to-pay of fincial
content website.
The study built up the dimensions of website
content/services via website observation. And
then it also uses the web-based questionnaire to
understand the user motive and willingness-to-pay
of financial content website. The findings are as
fellowed:
1. There are three main motives for the usage of
financial website. They
are "infornation", "interaction",
and "interesting/learning" motives. The most
important motive is "information".
2. The users are most willing to pay for
the "analyses/reports", "alert", and "full-text
database seraching".
3. The user motive is relevent to the willingness-
to-pay of financial content websites.Those who
are of the "interaction" motive are the most
willing to pay ones.
4. Age group, education background, and items of
investment are three intervening varieces of the
measurement of user motive and willingness-to-pay.
5. The findings would be useful for the planning
of financial content website. It also keeps the
records of current situiation of the existing
financial content websites.

Essays on risk aversionJindapon, Paan 30 October 2006 (has links)
This dissertation contains three essays on risk aversion. In the first essay, we an-
alyze comparative risk aversion in a new way, through a comparative statics problem
in which, for a cost, agents can shift from an initial probability distribution toward
a preferred distribution. The Ross characterization arises when the original distribution is riskier than the preferred distribution and the cost is monetary, and the
Arrow-Pratt characterization arises when the original distribution differs from the
preferred distribution by a simple mean-preserving spread and the cost is a utility
cost. Higher-order increases in risk lead to higher-order generalizations, and the com-
parative statics method yields a unified approach to the problem of comparative risk
attitudes.
In the second essay, we analyze decisions made by a group of terrorists and a
government in a zero-sum game in which the terrorists minimize a representative
citizen's expected utility and the government maximizes it. The terrorists' strategy
balances the probability and the severity of the attack while the government chooses
the level of investment reducing the probability and/or mitigating the severity. We
find that if the representative citizen is risk neutral, the terrorists' response is not
associated with the government's action and the representative citizen's risk attitudes
affect the strategies of the government and the terrorists. Risk aversion always in-
creases equilibrium severity but does not always increase equilibrium expenditure of the government.
In the last essay, we consider a situation in which an individual has to pay for
a good before he realizes the state-dependent surplus of the good. This ex-ante
willingness to pay is called the option price and the difference between the option
price and the expected surplus is the option value. We find that the option value
actually is the buying price for a fixed payment of the expected surplus, and there is
a special case in which the option value equals the negative of the compensating risk
premium. We also find the effects on the option price and the option value when the
expected utility assumption is replaced by a rank-dependent expected utility.

Risk Perception and Willingness to Pay for Removing Arsenic in Drinking WaterChen, Sihong 2011 August 1900 (has links)
This thesis is concerned with (i) how to estimate the perceived mortality risk, (ii) how to calculate the welfare change of mortality risk reduction and (iii) whether ambiguity aversion influences subjects' treatment decision. This study is an important topic in environmental and resource economics, and the attempt to introduce ambiguity preference into the models might shed light on future research in nonmarket valuation.
In this study, I estimate the economic value of reducing mortality risk relating to arsenic in drinking water employing contingent valuation in U.S. arsenic hot spots. Re-cent studies have shown that perceived risk is a more reliable variable than scientific assessments of risk when applied to interpret and predict individual's averting behavior. I am also interested in the confidence level of perceived risk, which was elicited and treated as the degree of risk ambiguity in this paper. I develop a formal parametric model to calculate the mean willingness to pay (WTP) for mortality risk reduction, and find weak evidence of ambiguity aversion.
