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 کاملA Bayesian Test of Double Bounded Contingent Valuation
Double bounded dichotomous choice is a contingent valuation elicitation method which involves two iterated binary questions. Past research has compared both responses within the framework of a joint bivariate distribution. In this paper we propose a Bayesian test which allows us to prove the hypothesis of unitary correlation coefficient. The application of the test is conducted on empirical dat...
متن کاملHandling Protest Responses in Contingent Valuation Surveys.
OBJECTIVES Protest responses, whereby respondents refuse to state the value they place on the health gain, are commonly encountered in contingent valuation (CV) studies, and they tend to be excluded from analyses. Such an approach will be biased if protesters differ from non-protesters on characteristics that predict their responses. The Heckman selection model has been commonly used to adjust ...
متن کاملContingent Valuation, Hypothetical Bias and Experimental Economics
Although the contingent valuation method has been widely used to value a diverse array of nonmarket environmental and natural resource commodities, recent empirical evidence suggests that it may not accurately estimate real economic values. The hypothetical nature of environmental valuation surveys typically results in responses that are significantly greater than actual payments. Economists ha...
متن کاملTesting for Inconsistencies in Double Bounded Dichotomous Choice Contingent Valuation Studies
A number of issues have been raised in the contingent valuation (CV) literature regarding the ‘validity’ of CV welfare estimates. This study addressed a number of these concerns within a study looking at the value of an air ambulance service in England. The double bounded dichotomous choice (DBDC) CV approach was used, and data was collected from 800 individuals across England, using a computer...
