Abstract

Choice question data and discrete choice random-utility models are used to estimate preferences over treatment programs for depression. Preferences are allowed to vary with treatment and individual characteristics. The flndings include: (1) The value of consuming market goods is less when one is depressed. This is a type of income efiect and drives a wedge between willingness-to-pay to eliminate one’s depression and willingness-to-accept it. Traditional income efiects are also important. (2) The probability of choosing no treatment varies as a function of individual characteristics, costs, and side efiects. (3) Willingness-to-pay to avoid sexual and weight gain side efiects can be high but varies extensively across individuals.
