Abstract
We present a new Bayesian econometric speci
cation for a hypothetical Discrete Choice
Experiment (DCE) incorporating respondent ranking information about attribute impor-
tance. Our results indicate that a DCE debrie
ng question that asks respondents to rank
the importance of attributes helps to explain the resulting choices. We also examine how
mode of survey delivery (online and mail) impacts model performance,
nding that results
are not substantively a¤ected by the mode of survey delivery. We conclude that the ranking
data is a complementary source of information about respondent utility functions within
hypothetical DCEs.
