✦ Synopsis

The authors analyze data from an in-store experiment in Colorado to estimate willingness to pay for ''local'' and ''organic'' labels in fresh apples, and investigate consumers' motivations. They found that the value of the ''local'' trumps that of ''organic,'' and motivations for valuing ''local'' correlate with social and public good consumer values. One methodological finding is that a simple scaling of the choice experiment offering, from 1 to 2 pounds of apples, induces a rather large change in the estimated premia. The authors explain this effect within the context of the bias induced by social desirability.

Germline mutations in the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease tumor suppressor gene (TSG) convey a high risk of clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma (CC-RCC) and most sporadic CC-RCCs demonstrate somatic inactivation of the VHL TSG. However, the existence of further CC-RCC gatekeeper genes is implied by CC-R
