Abstract
Abstract: This survey examines willingness-to-accept payments to engage in additional outdoor physical activity(PA) to reach national public health PA targets. The paper tests whether anchoring and inconsistencies present in Double-Bounded Dichotomous Choice (DBDC) willingness to pay (WTP) are also found in willingness-to-accept (WTA) studies and, if so, whether these anomalies can be eliminated in top down and bottom up valuation sequences for quantitatively nested goods. We also use advanced disclosure learning of the multiple goods valued; of the double referendum mechanisms used, including a novel exclusive list framing of DBDC valuation questions. Based on an online survey of 748 office-based employees, we show that the two treatments combined with a repetitive nested design attenuated conventional inconsistency and anchoring in WTA.
