TL;DR
A measurement experiment regarding willingness to pay for antihypertensive therapy is reported, and a new type of binary willingness topay question is used, that allows for different degrees of certainty with respect to the responses.
Abstract
A measurement experiment regarding willingness to pay for antihypertensive therapy is reported. A new type of binary willingness to pay question is used, that allows for different degrees of certainty with respect to the responses. Mean willingness to pay is derived from a simple expected utility model and estimated using maximum likelihood methods. The estimated parameters are highly significant, with predicted signs, and imply a mean willingness to pay of about SEK 800 ($130) per month. The explanatory power of the equation that only includes 'certain' yes/no responses is, as expected, much higher than that of the equation where only 'uncertain' responses are included.

The response rates achieved indicate the overall feasibility of quantification based on willingness-to-pay and MAR; the associations of WTP and MAR with other variables suggest systematic consideration of personal circumstances.

From the empirical applications of the CV method in economic evaluations of health care it is evident that it is possible to achieve acceptable response rates and the methodological problems encountered when measuring willingness to pay with survey methods are shown to be similar to the problems faced when measuring utility and quality of life in cost-utility analysis.

Analysis of peoples' willingness to pay for two publicly-provided goods showed that the group which preferred NHS nursing-home care could potentially compensate the groupWhich preferred hospital care and still remain better off, thus rendering NHS Nursing- home care the efficient option to undertake.

34 Citations1992Magnus Johannesson
Willingness to pay, willingness to give up leisure time and maximum acceptable risk for lowering cholesterol levels to normal were investigated among persons with hypercholesterolaemia in a postal survey and especially WTP deserves further attention, due to its inherent advantages, since it performed at least as well as the other measures.
