Chamberlin Meets Ciriacy-Wantrup: Using Insights from Experimental Economics to Inform Stated Preference Research

Author

  • Christian A. Vossler

Abstract

type="main" xml:lang="pt"> De nombreuses études dans lesquelles des enquêtes de préférences déclarées sont utilisées pour estimer la demande de biens publics ou privés peuvent être qualifiées d'expérimentales, bien que ce ne soit pas automatiquement le cas. Le présent article examine la vaste littérature sur l’économie expérimentale afin d'offrir aux concepteurs d'enquêtes de préférences déclarées et aux chercheurs des connaissances supplémentaires sur divers sujets tels que l’élaboration d'une enquête, la conception des mécanismes, la validité externe, l'analyse des données et la diffusion des résultats.
