The Usefulness of the Discrete Choice Experiment in Providing Effective Healthcare by Nikolina Dukić

“…This discussion shows that because the specifics of public healthcare complicate the data collection of revealed (market) preferences, it is necessary to rely on stated preferences of respondents in order to evaluate the economic value of health interventions as well to improve public health care interventions and make them more patients oriented. Also, this article explores the method of discrete choice experiment along with its applications in healthcare, which seeks to identify the marginal rate of substitution between relevant attributes of public healthcare intervention and its impact on the patients’ choice, hence enabling a broad application of the method.…”
