Controlling Starting-point Bias in Double-bounded Contingent Valuation Surveys Controlling Starting-point Bias in Double-bounded Contingent Valuation Surveys
In this paper, we study starting point bias in double-bounded contingent valuation surveys. This phenomenon arises in applications that use multiple valuation questions. Indeed, response to follow-up valuation questions may be influenced by the bid proposed in the initial valuation question. Previous researches have been conducted in order to control for such an effect. However, they find that ...
متن کاملHypothetical Bias in Dichotomous Choice Contingent Valuation Studies
This paper uses a meta-analysis to explore the relationship between hypothetical bias and the price respondents are asked to pay. For public goods, the results clearly indicate a difference in the price elasticity between hypothetical and actual payment conditions. Since the bias increases for larger dollar amounts, any simple guidelines, such as NOAA’s “divide by two” rule of thumb, could be m...
متن کاملModeling Response Incentive Effects in Dichotomous Choice Contingent Valuation Data
This paper introduces model specifications that can be used to explain response incentive effects that might occur with discrete response contingent valuation data when follow-up responses are collected. The models allowfor possible random response shocks, structural ships in willingness to pay betweenpayment questionsand heteroskedasticity between and within responses. Three well-known conting...
متن کاملOvercoming Hypothetical Bias in Dichotomous Choice Contingent Valuation Studies: Some Preliminary Results
Contingent Valuation studies, in which respondents are presented with a hypothetical choice, can be prone to hypothetical bias as respondents could overstate their willingness to pay. The purpose of this paper is to present a method to detect hypothetical bias in the single bound dichotomous choice model. The method borrows the tools from the stochastic frontier model, as in the case of Hofler ...
متن کاملOne-and-one-half-bound Dichotomous Choice Contingent Valuation
Although the double-bound (DB) fonnat for the discrete choice contingent valuation method (CVM) has the benefit of higher efficiency in welfare benefit estimates than the single-bound (SB) discrete choice CVM, it has been subject to criticism due to evidence that some of the responses to the second bid may be inconsistent with the responses to the first bid. As a means to reduce the potential f...
