Notes:

a**denotes significance at α = 0.01 and *denotes significance at α = 0.05. bThe ME of the jth variable Xij on the probability of the ith respondent selecting the TN hard apple cider over that not labeled is ∂Pr [TNi = 1]/∂Xij = ϕi ·βj, where βj is the parameter on Xij and ϕi is the normal density function. The mean MEs and their associated standard errors are calculated using the Krinsky and Robb method with 5,000 replications (Krinsky and Robb, 1986). cThe mean premium (PREM¯) and associated standard errors are calculated for the 95% confidence level using the Krinsky and Robb method with 5,000 replications. dThe effects of each variable on WTP, the premium and the associated standard errors are calculated using the Krinsky and Robb method. The ME of the jth non-premium explanatory variable on estimated PREM̂TN is calculated as  PREM̂TN/Xj = − βj/βPTN
