Abstract Stated preference surveys are usually carried out in one session, without any follow-up interview after respondents have had the opportunity to experience the public goods or policies they were asked to value. Consequently, a stated preference survey needs to be designed so as to provide respondents with all the relevant information, and to help them process this information so they can perform the valuation exercise properly. In this paper, we study experimentally an elicitation procedure in which respondents are provided with a sequence of different types of information (social cues and objective information) that allows them to sequentially revise their willingness-to-pay (WTP) values. Our experiment was carried out in large groups using an electronic voting system which allows us to construct social cues in real time. To analyse the data, we developed an anchoring-type structural model that allows us to estimate the direct effect (at the current round) and the indirect effect (on subsequent rounds) of information. Our results shed new light on the interacted effect of social cues and objective information: social cues have little or no direct effect on WTP values but they have a strong indirect effect on how respondents process scientific information. Social cues have the most noticeable effect on respondents who initially report a WTP below the group average but only after receiving additional objective information about the valuation task. We suggest that the construction and the provision of social cues should be added to the list of tools and controls for stated preference methods.

社交线索和科学信息何时会影响陈述的偏好?空气污染实验的见解

摘要陈述的偏好调查通常在一个环节中进行,在受访者有机会体验他们被要求重视的公共物品或政策之后,无需进行任何后续采访。因此,需要设计明确的偏好调查,以便为受访者提供所有相关信息,并帮助他们处理此信息,以便他们可以正确执行评估工作。在本文中,我们通过实验研究了一种启发程序,其中为受访者提供一系列不同类型的信息(社交线索和客观信息),使他们可以依次修改其支付意愿(WTP)值。我们的实验是使用电子投票系统在大型团体中进行的,该系统可使我们实时构建社交线索。为了分析数据,我们开发了一个锚定类型的结构模型,该模型允许我们估计信息的直接影响(在本轮)和间接影响(在随后的轮)。我们的结果为社交线索和客观信息之间的相互作用提供了新的启示:社交线索对WTP值几乎没有或没有直接影响,但对受访者如何处理科学信息产生了很大的间接影响。社交提示对最初报告WTP低于团体平均水平但仅在收到有关评估任务的其他客观信息之后的受访者产生最明显的影响。我们建议应将社交提示的构建和提供添加到用于指定偏好方法的工具和控件列表中。我们开发了一种锚定型结构模型,该模型可让我们估算信息的直接影响(当前轮次)和间接影响(对后续轮次)。我们的结果为社交线索和客观信息之间的相互作用提供了新的启示:社交线索对WTP值几乎没有或没有直接影响,但对受访者如何处理科学信息产生了很大的间接影响。社交提示对最初报告WTP低于团体平均水平但仅在收到有关评估任务的其他客观信息之后的受访者产生最明显的影响。我们建议应将社交提示的构建和提供添加到用于指定偏好方法的工具和控件列表中。我们开发了一种锚定型结构模型,该模型可让我们估算信息的直接影响(当前轮次)和间接影响(对后续轮次)。我们的结果为社交线索和客观信息之间的相互作用提供了新的启示:社交线索对WTP值几乎没有或没有直接影响,但对受访者如何处理科学信息产生了很大的间接影响。社交提示对最初报告WTP低于团体平均水平但仅在收到有关评估任务的其他客观信息之后的受访者产生最明显的影响。我们建议应将社交提示的构建和提供添加到用于指定偏好方法的工具和控件列表中。
