Strategic Behavior and Social Desirability Bias in Stated Preference Willingness-to-pay: Evidence from a Framed Field Experiment 1: University of Georgia, United States of America; 2: University of Delaware; 3: University of Alberta Stated preference (SP) methods are widely used to elicit willingness-to-pay (WTP), yet concerns remain about hypothetical bias arising from strategic behavior and social desirability. This study examines how provision bias, a form of strategic behavior, and social desirability bias induced by public recognition, separately and jointly affect stated WTP for private goods with public good characteristics. We develop a conceptual framework that incorporates the provision of a good and public recognition into individual utility and test corresponding hypotheses in a framed field experiment. We find no evidence of provision bias. Public recognition increases WTP primarily among individuals with higher values, while the joint effect of provision bias and SDB is positive but statistically insignificant. These findings increase confidence in the use of SP methods for eliciting WTP for private goods and draw attention to accounting for recognition effects in survey design. | |
