“…While they might do so for a number of reasons more or less in agreement with the basic assumptions concerning homo economicus (Alemu et al 2013), failing to account for nonattendance could lead to biased welfare measures. While Balcombe et al (2011) find that respondents actually ignore attributes stated to be ignored, Campbell and Lorimer (2009), Hess and Hensher (2010) and Alemu et al (2013), found that respondents do not completely ignore an attribute even though they say so. Contrary to our expectations, our results suggest that this effect is even more pronounced in surveys with real incentives 12 .…”

Behavioral implications of providing real incentives in stated choice experiments

This paper explores the potential impacts of introducing real economic incentives in Choice Experiments (CE). While many others have investigated such impacts before, the majority of the literature has focused solely on mitigation of hypothetical bias. We contribute to this literature by widening the scope of research to other behavioural aspects where consumers in CE are often found to deviate from homo economicus. We develop a theoretical model where not only Willingness to pay (WTP) measures but also decision processing can be affected by the introduction of an economic incentive. Specifically, our model allows for differential impacts on attribute processing, depending on the character of the attribute as well as self-image effects. In an empirical CE survey, we find some, though not unequivocal, support of our model. Even though we find no impact on WTP from introducing an economic incentive, we find marked benefits in relation to a number of behavioural aspects that together would favour the use of an economic incentive regardless of hypothetical bias being present or not.

“…The first approach, which is called stated ANA, is the use of follow-up questions asking respondents to state which attributes they attended to (or ignored) when deciding on their preferred options (Hensher et al, 2005;Campbell et al, 2008;Carlsson et al, 2010;Scarpa et al, 2010;Balcombe et al, 2011). a weight to the attribute parameters, since ANA will affect the estimated attribute parameters.…”

“…Stated ANA responses could be used to determine the weighted parameters via interactions between the ignored attributes and dummy variables representing the stated ANA (Carlsson et al, 2010;Balcombe et al, 2011).…”

A bstractIn a discrete choice experiment (DCE), some respondents might not attend to all presented attributes when evaluating and choosing their preferred options. Utilizing data from a DCE survey in Vietnam, this paper contributes to the literature on attribute non-attendance (ANA) with an investigation of the ANA in the developing country context. Based on a review of relevant published ANA studies, we find that the extent of ANA reported by respondents in our Vietnam case study could be potentially more serious than in the developed country studies. Our econometric analysis based on a mixed logit model shows that respondents who ignored the attributes have different preferences from respondents who attended to the attributes. An examination of ANA determinants using a multivariate probit model was undertaken to gain a better understanding of reasons for the differences in the preferences of two groups of respondents. Our results confirm that the stated ANA could be an example of a simplifying strategy of respondents, and that respondents ignored attributes which were not relevant to their situation.

Valuing environmental services provided by local stormwater management

The management of stormwater runoff via distributed green infrastructures delivers a number of environmental services that go beyond the reduction of flood risk, which has been the focus of conventional stormwater systems. Not all of these services may be equally valued by the public, however. This paper estimates households' willingness to pay (WTP) for improvements in water security, stream health, recreational and amenity values, as well as reduction in flood risk and urban heat island effect. We use data from nearly 1000 personal interviews with residential homeowners in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. Our results suggest that the WTP for the highest levels of all environmental services is A$799 per household per year. WTP is mainly driven by residents valuing improvements in local stream health, exemptions in water restrictions, the prevention of flash flooding, and decreased peak urban temperatures respectively at
