The use of machine learning to understand the role of visual attention in multi-attribute choice Open
Whether eye movements (as a measure of visual attention) contribute to the understanding of how multi-attribute decisions are made, is still a matter of debate. In this study, we show how machine learning methods can be used to separate th…

Keeping an eye on cost: What can eye tracking tell us about attention to cost information in discrete choice experiments? Open
Concern has been expressed about including a cost attribute within discrete choice experiments (DCEs) when individuals do not have to pay at the point of consumption. We use eye tracking to investigate attention to cost when valuing public…

Weighting or aggregating? Investigating information processing in multi‐attribute choices Open
Multi‐attribute choices are commonly analyzed in economics to value goods and services. Analysis assumes individuals consider all attributes, making trade‐offs between them. Such decision‐making is cognitively demanding, often triggering a…
