INTRODUCTION This special issue of Marine Resource Economics focuses on attribute non-attendance (ANA) in stated preference research. ANA occurs when individuals ignore one or more attributes in stated preference choice experiment (CE) questions. If present but unaddressed, ANA can lead to biased model coefficients and welfare estimates. The ANA literature includes two primary approaches for identifying and accounting for ANA behavior in CE studies: the stated and inferred ANA approaches. In the stated ANA approach, survey respondents provide self-reported information about CE attributes that have been ignored or given less than full attention. In the inferred ANA approach, econometric models are used to probabilistically discern ANA behavior from the choice data. In the rest of this introduction, we conduct a systematic bibliometric analysis to characterize the ANA literature and a meta-analysis to examine the effect of ANA strategies on welfare estimates. We then briefly summarize the articles in this special issue and describe how they fit into the literature. Finally, we offer some suggestions for future research.

海洋生态系统商品和服务选择实验中的不参与属性：特刊介绍

引言 本期《海洋资源经济学》特刊重点关注陈述偏好研究中的属性缺勤 (ANA)。当个人在陈述的偏好选择实验 (CE) 问题中忽略一个或多个属性时，就会发生 ANA。如果存在但未解决，ANA 可能会导致有偏差的模型系数和福利估计。ANA 文献包括两种在 CE 研究中识别和解释 ANA 行为的主要方法：陈述和推断的 ANA 方法。在规定的 ANA 方法中，调查受访者提供有关被忽略或未得到充分关注的 CE 属性的自我报告信息。在推断 ANA 方法中，计量经济学模型用于从选择数据中概率性地辨别 ANA 行为。在本介绍的其余部分中，我们进行了系统的文献计量分析来描述 ANA 文献的特征，并进行荟萃分析来检查 ANA 策略对福利估计的影响。然后，我们简要总结了本期特刊中的文章，并描述了它们如何融入文献。最后，我们对未来的研究提出一些建议。
