On the spending side, some public goods may be locally delivered to better match populations' preferences while others should remain supplied centrally to avoid duplication costs or the loss of scale economies (Oates 1972).
In some regions, TOD has generated controversy, seen as impinging on the local populations' preferences for single-family housing, as well as the desire of developers to build that category of housing.
General population preference derived tariffs are used to convert the health states into utilities.
For instance, when reaching for a piece of raisin or marshmallow, squirrel monkeys did not display significant population preference.
The differential contribution of weights based on population preference values is therefore minimal and, in our opinion, negligible.
Two reviewers (KN, OE) independently extracted data on the study, study population, preference elicitation aspects and preference results (see online supplementary appendix 3).
An overall SCRQoL index score can be calculated by applying English population preference weights, which reflect the relative importance of the different aspects of SCRQoL [ 6].
For this study, the UK tariffs were used to assign population preference weights to the EQ-5D domains to produce the EQ-5D valuation index scores analyzed [ 35].
Resident QOL will be estimated using nurse-ratings on the EQ-5D-5 L introduced above, for which Australian population preference weights have been valued by a representative sample of the general population [ 65].
Responses to the five EQ-5D health dimensions define 243 possible health states for which general population preference weights have been derived for U.S., European, Japanese, and African samples.
