This paper explores methodological issues surrounding the use of discrete choice experiments to elicit values for public goods. One of the paper’s strongest points is its game-theoretic development that resulted in six conditions to secure incentive compatibility in choice experiments.

The paper is based on an experimental economics experiment, a preliminary version of this paper is a Cirano publication.
