虽然人们对公共产品的价值的估计往往需要进行成本效益分析，现有的价值推导方法容易出现一些有据可查的偏见。我们认为，其中一些偏见的结果，因为人们从说他们愿意为一个好的行为获得效用。为了抵消这种现象，我们考虑一种方法，要求人们预测或推断他人的价值观，而不是要求人们陈述自己的价值观。概念模型和实验室实验结果都支持这种新方法。(JEL H41、Q51）
Although estimates of people’s values for public goods are often needed to conduct costbenefit analysis, existing value elicitation methods are prone to a number of well-documented biases. We argue that some of these biases result because people derive utility from the act of saying they are willing to pay for a good. To counteract this phenomenon, we consider an approach that asks people to predict or infer others’ values for a good instead of asking people to state their own value. Both a conceptual model and results from a laboratory experiment lend support for the new approach. (JEL H41, Q51)
