How Closely Do Hypothetical Surveys and Laboratory Experiments Predict Field Behavior (2009, neutral): “…methods is that of hypothetical bias; the finding that willingness-to-pay elicited from hypothetical decision tasks almost always exceeds willingness-to-pay elicited from nonhypothetical decision tasks (e.g., see the reviews in Little and Berrens 2004; List and Gallet 2001; and Murphy et al. 2005).”
A Comparison of Approaches to Mitigate Hypothetical Bias (2009, methodology): “ List and Gallet (2001) found that private good studies result in less hypothetical bias than studies in which public goods are valued, and that hypothetical bias is larger in willingness-to-accept studies than willingness-to-pay studies.”
Get Real! Individuals Prefer More Sustainable Investments (2018, neutral): “It is the difference between stated preferences and revealed preferences (List and Gallet, 2001; Carson et al., 2006; Harrison, 2006a; Beshears et al., 2008).2 We compare sustainable investment decisions with real consequences to hypothetical decisions.3 Sustainable investments grew in importance…”
Consequentiality: A Theoretical and Experimental Exploration of a Single Binary Choice (2014, background): “…an economist wants to estimate.7 It is useful to go through some of the other issues involved with the studies that populate the metaanalyses (e.g., List and Gallet 2001; Little and Berrens 2004; Murphy et al. 2005) aimed at shedding light on the degree of hypothetical bias likely to be present…”

How reliable are meta-analyses for international benefit transfers? (2008, neutral): “2003), and differences in real and hypothetical WTP (“hypothetical bias”) (List and Gallet 2001; Murphy et al. 2005).”
Consumers' willingness to pay for traceable pork, milk, and cooking oil in Nanjing, China (2012, methodology): “For example, Loureiro and Umberger (2007) analyzed consumers’ relative preferences for meat attributes in labeled ribeye beef steaks by using choice experiments. Their results indicate that both traceability and country-of-origin are less valued than certification of USDA food safety inspection. Sim”
The value of a statistical life (2009, neutral): “It has been suggested that the hypothetical bias can be related to unfamiliarity with the good and preference uncertainty among the respondents (List and Gallet, 2001; Blumenschein et al., 2008).”
Public Preferences and Private Choices: Effect of Altruism and Free Riding on Demand for Environmentally Certified Pork (2007, background): “A number of studies have shown that individuals tend to overstate the amount they are willing to pay for goods in hypothetical settings (see the literature review in List and Gallet 2001 ).”
Revisiting Cheap Talk with New Evidence from a Field Experiment (2011, background): “Subjects tend to behave differently when they face a hypothetical task compared to a real one (Neill et al., 1994; Blumenschein et al., 1997; List and Gallet, 2001).”
