Measurement error in discrete health facility choice models: An example from urban Senegal
利用塞内加尔城市个人层面的医疗设施选择数据，估计消费者对孕产服务设施特征的偏好，发现人们常绕过最近设施，且常用测量误差数据导致偏好估计有偏，尤其高估了对出行的厌恶。
Summary We use individual‐level health facility choice data from urban Senegal to estimate consumer preferences for facility characteristics related to maternal health services. We find that consumers consider a large number of quality‐related facility characteristics, as well as travel costs, when making their health facility choice. In contrast to the typical assumption in the literature, our findings indicate that individuals frequently bypass the facility nearest their home. In light of this, we show that the mismeasured data used commonly in the literature produces biased preference estimates; most notably, the literature likely overestimates consumer distaste for travel.
