Testing the Fundamental Assumption of Choice Experiments: Are Values Absolute or Relative? (2011, result): “…(1997) suggest that problems that affect the quality of the data, such as fatigue, may occur with high numbers of choices, a number of studies have shown that individuals can cope well with similar numbers of choices used in the study reported here (Brazell and Louviere 1997; Bateman et al. 2008b).”
Design of Stated Preference Surveys: Is There More to Learn from Behavioral Economics? (2010, background): “There are two very recent papers that use virtual reality to communicate environmental changes: Fiore et al. (2009) and Bateman et al. (2009).”
Attending to the Reasons for Attribute Non-attendance in Choice Experiments (2011, methodology): “An advanced awareness treatment similar to that of Bateman et al. (2008) is used in order to facilitate learning processes and give respondents a grasp of the attributes and levels before the actual preference eliciting choice sets are presented.”
Choice Certainty and Consistency in Repeated Choice Experiments (2010, background): “Bateman et al. (2008) find support for the DPH and show that learning effects through repeated choices may overturn the wide-spread value anchoring biases found in double bounded CV, hence minimizing the influence of arbitrary effects in SP valuation research.”
Animal Welfare Economics (2011, result): “For this reason, other studies such as Bateman et al. (2008) have asked about consumers’ willingness to let overall food prices or expenditures rise, and Tonsor et al. (2009b) asked about consumers’ willingness to allow taxes to rise if a policy improving animal welfare were to pass.”
Augmenting short Cheap Talk scripts with a repeated Opt-Out Reminder in Choice Experiment surveys (2014, background): “On the other hand, several authors have found evidence of learning effects in CE (Bateman et al. 2008; Cherry et al. 2003; List 2003; Hutchinson et al. 2004; Ladenburg and Olsen 2008).”
Preference Uncertainty, Preference Learning, and Paired Comparison Experiments (2010, result): “This finding is in line with the recent report by Bateman et al. (2008) that respondents to a dichotomous-choice contingent valuation survey require repetition and experience with the choice task in order to express preferences consistent with economic theory.”
Deliberative Monetary Valuation: In Search of a Democratic and Value Plural Approach to Environmental Policy (2013, background): “Protest and ‘irrational’ responses are explained in terms of cognition problems resolvable by preference engineering (Gregory et al., 2005; Hanley and Shogren, 2005; Bateman et al., 2008).”
Contemporary Guidance for Stated Preference Studies (2017, background): “Further, if respondents learn about the change being valued and their preferences evolve or converge through the sequence of questions, then answers to later questions in the sequence may better reflect actual preferences than answers to earlier questions (Holmes and Boyle 2005; Bateman et al. 2008a”
Economic Analysis for Ecosystem Service Assessments (2011, background): “Such problems are most likely to occur for goods with which individuals have little experience and poor understanding (Bateman et al., 2008a,b, 2010a)39.”
The first time is the hardest: A test of ordering effects in choice experiments (2012, background): “Bateman et al. (2008) and Swait and Adamowicz (2001) suggest that such a fast learning process is indicative of institutional learning. Preference learning would arguably be a slower process as for instance in Ladenburg and Olsen (2008), where a starting point bias is found to persist for a larger n”
Using Internet in Stated Preference Surveys: A Review and Comparison of Survey Modes (2011, unknown): “…recently, environmental economists have come to view preferences as constructed or learnt at the time of elicitation, at least when the preference object is unfamiliar to the respondent and/or she has little previous experience with it (McFadden, 1999; MacMillan et al., 2006; Bateman et al., 2008).”
Not bored yet – revisiting respondent fatigue in stated choice experiments (2012, methodology): “Finally in a particularly important contribution, Bateman et al. (2008a), in a contingent valuation (CV) context, investigated the formation and nature of preferences by addressing an issue of particular importance to the valuation of low experience goods, namely the speed at which individuals can…”
