16 Appendx VII: The complete specfcaton Addtonal ncdental varables Followng each choce task n the survey, respondents were asked about ther personal expected latency for each of the health threats n queston. If the respondent expected never to beneft from a program, or expected the latency of the llness to be longer or shorter than what was descrbed n the llness profle, we used ths nformaton to construct shft varables to accommodate over- or under-estmaton of the latency. Second, at the end of the survey, we questoned respondents drectly about ther ndvdual subectve lfe expectancy. If ths lfe expectancy dffered from the nomnal lfe expectancy n the choce scenaros, ths dscrepancy was smlarly allowed to shft the utlty parameters n the model. Full-fledged selectvty correcton models n multple-choce condtonal logt models are challengng, so we do not attempt them here. Moreover, non-response modelng data are not avalable for the Canadan sample. Here, we do have the data needed to estmate a response/nonresponse model that produces ftted response probabltes for each ndvdual n the U.S. sample. For each U.S. respondent, we use the devaton of ths ftted response propensty from the response propensty among all 500,000-plus members of Knowledge Network, Inc. s ntal random-dgt-daled recrutng sample. For Canadan respondents, the varable takes on a value of zero, such that no correcton s made for devaton between predcted response propensty and average response propensty. 30 Under deal crcumstances, every respondent would reveal subectve latences that match the ones used n the choce scenaros. They would each have a subectve lfe expectancy that matched the nomnal lfe expectancy for someone ther age and gender that was used n ther copy of the survey nstrument. Fnally, all members of the recrutment pool would have equal propenstes to show up n the estmatng sample. Under these condtons, all of our nusance varables (expressed as devatons from ther ntended values) would be zero, so we use zero values for these varables n our smulatons. 30 Whle Canadan response/nonresponse propenstes are left uncorrected, we note that our models control for all the observables upon whch the Canada and U.S. samples dffer n terms of the margnal dstrbutons, and ths strategy wll mnmze the mpact of selecton bas on the basc coeffcents.
