Scope This series deals with the foundations, the general methodology and the criteria, goals and purpose of the social sciences. The emphasis in the new Series A will be on wellargued, thoroughly analytical rather than advanced mathematical treatments. In this context, particular attention will be paid to game and decision theory and general philosophical topics from mathematics, psychology and economics, such as game theory, voting and welfare theory, with applications to political science, sociology, law and ethics. For a list of titles published in this series, see final page.

7 PREFACE As a psychologist by education, my interest is in how people solve problems. At the Economic Institute of Leyden Universi ty, I learned that economists study human behavior too, although their studies are limited to economic affairs. At the Institute of Scientific Research on Consumer Affairs (SWOKA), I became aware of the needs of consumer organizations and the government for consumer research to base their policy on. At Erasmus University Rotterdam, I got the opportunity to integrate my interests and knowledge into this book. The first part of the book attempts to integrate psychological theories of attitude, perception, motivation and decision into economics. Both disciplines are concerned with human behavior, and the economic paradigm of demand, subj ect to restrictions, is combined with the psychological tradition of direct measurements of perceptions and motivations. This results in a micro-model of economic choice that can be tested by means of information obtained directly from consumers. The empirical study deals with the problem of scrapping a durable consumption good. By means of a consumer survey, the micro-model of choice is applied to the decision to scrap a durable good, or to repair the good in case of a defect. This individual decision obviously is connected with the large scale problem of waste, and with the manufacturer's problem of producing durable goods with a certain quality and durabili ty. A separate part of the study deals with the reliability and the lifetime of a durable good. Econometric techniques ix
8 x PREFACE have been used to estimate the failure rate during the lifetime of the good. Also, the survival function of a good has been assessed without complete knowledge of the lifetimes of the goods in the survey. The study has a number of implications for consumer policy and for the policy of the manufacturer of a durable consumption good. The determinants of the scrapping decision may be used in consumer information given by the government or by consumer organizations. The estimation techniques of reliability and expected lifetime of durable consumption goods can be applied in guidance by consumer organizations and in the planning of the production of durable goods by manufacturers. In the long run, consumers in the present and in the future may benefit from this information. During my appointment at the Institute of Scientific Research on Consumer Affairs (SWOKA), the survey data on scrapping and repair of washing machines have been collected by Intomart BV. At that time, the idea of a dissertation, to be supervised by Fred van Raaij and Arie Kapteyn, came up. Fred van Raaij offered me a position at Erasmus University Rotterdam, and Arie Kapteyn intensively stimulated and guided my research efforts. Both of these promotores are thanked for the reading and correcting of several drafts of the manuscript. SWOKA is acknowledged for the permission to use the survey data for my purposes. George Moerkerke did many of the preparatory calculations. Frans Verweijen of the Erasmus Rekencentrum (ERC) assisted in case of computational problems (there were many of such cases). In the early stages of the research project, the manuscript was typed by Gemma Schmitz and Wilma Speijer-v.d. Burgt on machines that are deemed out
