主 旨 / Outline

Classical theory assumes that people have stable preferences and consistent values. There is an ever-growing body of evidence however that supports the notion that preferences and behavior are often constructed, not merely revealed, in the elicitation process. This phenomenon can be contingent on the type of elicitation method, the framing of the elicitation question, and the different contexts of the experiment. This seminar will describe how subjects’ behavior in auction and choice experiments are affected, at least empirically, by the different contexts upon which the experiment was conducted and by the set of conditions under consideration. A number of empirical examples conducted by the author and colleagues will be given to show that even relatively small changes in the context of the experiment can modify subjects’ behavior and valuation estimates in auction and choice experiments. This is an important issue since it has significant implications for findings of auction and choice experiments generally used not just for business applications but also for important welfare and policy analysis.
