Sintesi	Choice-based conjoint analysis (CBC) measures how consumers value the features of a product by observing the choices they make among competing, attribute-defined profiles rather than by asking them to rate attributes directly. Each respondent completes a series of choice tasks, picking the single most preferred alternative (often with a 'none' option) from a small set, and the pattern of choices across many tasks reveals the implicit trade-offs people make. The method grew out of Louviere and Woodworth's 1983 integration of conjoint measurement with discrete-choice theory, which showed that controlled choice experiments could be analyzed with the multinomial logit model. Because the choice task mimics a real purchase decision, CBC has become the dominant form of conjoint in commercial marketing research, popularized by Sawtooth Software. Estimation recovers part-worth utilities for every attribute level, either at the aggregate level or, more commonly today, individually through hierarchical Bayes. Those utilities then feed market simulators that predict shares of preference for new or hypothetical product configurations.	A discrete choice experiment (DCE) is a stated-preference method in which respondents repeatedly choose their preferred option from sets of alternatives described by systematically varied attributes, allowing the analyst to estimate how each attribute drives choice. Grounded in McFadden's random utility theory and operationalized for designed experiments by Louviere and Woodworth in 1983, the DCE treats each choice as the selection of the alternative with the highest latent utility and recovers the utility coefficients from observed choices. Because attributes are varied independently by experimental design, the method isolates the marginal effect of each attribute, including price, and yields marginal rates of substitution such as willingness to pay. DCEs are analyzed with multinomial (conditional) logit and, increasingly, with mixed and nested logit models that relax restrictive assumptions and capture preference heterogeneity. The approach is essentially the same machinery as choice-based conjoint but is the standard term in transport, health, and environmental economics, where it is used to value non-market goods. Its rigor and flexibility have made it a dominant stated-preference technique across the social sciences.
