Abstract

The purpose of this note is to address a problem faced in using stated preference methods to estimate willingness to pay (WTP) for a project. The considered problem occurs under pure altruism. Even though an agent is equipped with well-behaved preferences, a conventional closed-ended (binary) valuation question may induce her to overrate or underrate her true WTP. On the other hand, an open-ended valuation format seemingly provides a correct answer, but such a format fails to be incentive compatible.

离散选择实验中利他偏好的错误表述

本文的目的是解决在使用声明偏好方法来估计项目的支付意愿(WTP)时所面临的问题。所考虑的问题发生在纯利他主义下。即使代理具有良好的偏好，传统的封闭式(二元)评估问题也可能导致她高估或低估自己的真实WTP。另一方面，开放式估值格式似乎提供了一个正确的答案，但这种格式不能与激励相容。
