Description

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.
