This study examines Korean consumers\u2019 valuation of a rice-grading system without the \u201cno test\u201d option. We apply a non-hypothetical experimental auction to elicit consumers\u2019 willingness to pay for each rice grade and identify the impact of the provision of additional grading information on product valuation. We then use contingent and inferred valuations to obtain consumers\u2019 valuation of a mandatory rice-grading system without the \u201cno test\u201d option. We find that Korean consumers are willing to pay an additional premium for each rice grade and that rice-grading information is the most important factor that differentiates the rice products. Rice consumers in Korea also strongly prefer a mandatory rice-grading system without the \u201cno test\u201d option.<\/p>\n<h5>\u5bfe\u3000\u8c61 \/ Prospected Audience<\/h5>\n<p>Faculty and staff members of a university, grad students, the general public<\/p>\n<h5>\u4e3b\u3000\u50ac \/ Organizer<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Institute of Japan-U.S. Studies, Organization for Regional and Inter-regional Studies (ORIS),\u00a0Waseda University<br \/>\nInstitute of Inter-regional studies, Organization for Regional and Inter-regional Studies (ORIS),\u00a0Waseda University<\/p>\n<h5>\u5171\u3000\u50ac \/ Co-organizer<\/h5>\n<p>Waseda Institute for Advanced Study, Waseda University<\/p>\n<h5>\u7533\u8fbc\u307f \/ Registration<\/h5>\n<p>Free of charge.
