Email address: Abstract According to neoclassical economic theory, a stated preference elic itation format comprising a single binary choice between the status quo and one alternative is incentive compatible under certain conditions. Formats typically used in choice experiments comprising a sequence of discrete choice questions do not hold this propert y. In this paper, the effect on stated preferences of expanding the number of binary c hoice tasks per respondent from one to four is tested using a split sample treatment in an attribute-based survey relating to the undergrounding of overhead electricity a nd telecommunications wires. We find evidence to suggest that presenting multiple choice tasks per respondent decreases estimates of expected willingness to pay. Pr eferences stated in the first of a sequence of choice tasks are not significantly differ ent from those stated in the incentive compatible single binary choice task, but, in subsequent choice tasks, responses are influenced by cost levels observed in past questions. Three behavioural explanations can be advanced – weak strategic misrepresentation, ref erence point revision and cost-driven value learning. The evidence is contrary to the standard assumption of truthful response with stable preferences.
