Bradlow then provides a rejoinder, acknowledging the diverse opinions and the challenge of staying current across various related fields, while expressing enthusiasm for future developments in conjoint analysis. Ultimately, the collection of texts provides a snapshot of current debates and opportunities for the advancement of conjoint analysis in both theory and practice.
