“…The stylized fact from the broad literature is that there exists a positive and economically meaningful "hypothetical bias", whereby people tend to overstate their values in hypothetical settings (List and Gallett, 2001;Little and Berrens, 2004;Murphy, Stevens and Weatherhead, 2005). On the other hand, when the focus is put on consequentiality of the survey, the evidence supports the view that one-shot dichotomous choice stated preference methods possess criterion validity (Carson et al, 2004;Johnston, 2006;Landry and List, 2007;Vossler and Evans, 2009;Vossler and Kerkvliet, 2003). Furthermore some studies have identified behavior in consequential (but non-incentive compatible elicitation settings) that is consistent with mechanism design theory predictions (Bateman et al, 2008;Carson et al, 2004;Polomé, 2003).…”

Résumé / AbstractCette étude s'intéresse à des aspects méthodologiques associés à l'utilisation d'expériences avec choix discrets pour évaluer des biens publics. Nous avons développé un modèle explicite de jeux théoriques pour des décisions individuelles à des séries de choix, avec conditions générales sous lesquelles un questionnaire avec des choix binaires répétés incite la révélation des valeurs. Ce développement théorique est suivi d'expériences terrains avec traitements qui couvrent le spectre des incitatifs de la révélation des valeurs, passant de la décision avec mise en place réelle du projet et paiements réels de la part des participants, à celle sans aucune conséquence financière directe et avec projets hypothétiques. Les résultats indiquent qu'il est possible d'obtenir une révélation des valeurs réelles en situation hypothétique, si les participants pensent que leurs décisions ont un potentiel d'impact significatif sur une éventuelle politique.

“…We now turn to the empirical analysis, which first consists in estimating the WTP for digital music using a method for contingent valuation (Mitchell and Carson, 1989;Arrow et al, 1993) that is well known in environmental economics (Cameron and James, 1987;Vossler and Kerkvliet, 2003), and then consists in estimating the determinants of the decision to pirate digital music. Table 3 reports the marginal effect of each explanatory variable on whether respondents' are willing to purchase Flo Rida's "Right Round."…”

Why do some individuals pirate digital music while others pay for it? Using data on a sample of undergraduate students, we study the determinants of music piracy by looking at whether a respondent's last song was obtained illegally or not. In doing so, we incorporate (i) the individual-specific transactions costs that constitute the effective price of illegal music; and (ii) individual willingness to pay (WTP) for digital music, which we elicit using a simple field experiment and which we use to control for the unobserved heterogeneity of preferences between respondents. Our empirical results indicate that a respondent's subjective probability of facing a lawsuit and her degree of morality both have a negative impact on the likelihood that her last song was obtained illegally. These results are robust whether WTP is estimated parametrically or nonparametrically. We conclude by discussing the practical implications of our findings.
