Abstract: | This paper proposes a new analytical framework to quantify and correct for scale compatibility bias in the assessment of trade-off weights in multiattribute value analysis. The procedure is demonstrated with an application to a fisheries management problem. Trade-off judgments are elicited from a group of fisheries experts with management responsibility in the Lake Erie basin. Then the authors use a Bayesian method to compute posterior probability distributions of attribute weights. |
