Abstract
Stated preference studies increasingly elicit respondents’ perceptions about survey consequentiality to mitigate hypothetical bias concerns and enhance validity of value estimates. A typical practice is to ask about these perceptions after preferences. We examine the sensitivity of the perceptions, willingness-to-pay estimates, and the relationship between them to the perception elicitation location in a discrete choice experiment survey. Our empirical results suggest that the location matters: the perceptions and willingness-to-pay values are affected. In our data, the self-reported consequentiality is stronger when elicited before, rather than after, the preferences. We discuss implications of the findings for elicitation of perceived consequentiality.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
