摘要
This paper re-examines the open ended/dichotomous choice question in the lab. It has earlier been suggested that the dichotomous choice format suffers from anchoring and yea-saying. Comparing actual economic commitments for a private good with a significant market value, we cannot reject the null hypothesis of equal WTP for the two formats. We conclude that problems with DC might be due to issues of how the survey is framed, not the DC question itself.
