Experimental Estimation of Preferences on Population Health Ethics

This data accompanies the paper Allanson and Robson (2024), "Estimating Public Preferences on Population Health Ethics". In the paper, we design and run an online experiment, with a sample of the UK adult population, to estimate preferences on population ethics. Here, we provide data and code. The Experiment folder contains the R Shiny code for running the experiment. The Policy Evaluation folder contains: 1) an RData file, which includes the estimated preference parameters, and 2) an R script file, which includes a function that allows others to use our estimated preference parameters to evaluate alternative health policies which affect the distribution of health-related quality-of-life and population size. Further data and code will be uploaded on publication of our paper. Please contact us if you have any questions.
