We focus on two types of priming: (i) two versions of an oath where respondents commit to answer truthfully during the survey, and (ii) a priming scenario that combines information about the social cost of ambient air pollution and questions on the respondents’ experiences related to the topic. To test the robustness of the findings the same survey is implemented in two different countries, the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK). Results show that respondents behave as expected in the choice situations and the two estimates of the value of statistical life (VSL) obtained are in line with values recommended for policy purposes in both countries. Regarding the priming treatments, we find that the oath treatments have different effects in the US and in the UK, and that the priming scenario has an effect on those who have already been suffering from air pollution (US), or on those who are willing to change and undertake actions to protect the environment (UK). date: 2023-06 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier. id_number: 10.1016/j.socec.2023.102013 official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/128094 faculty: tse divisions: tse language: en has_fulltext: TRUE doi: 10.1016/j.socec.2023.102013 view_date_year: 2023 full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics volume: vol. 104 number: n° 102013 place_of_pub: Amsterdam. refereed: TRUE issn: 2214-8043 oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:128094 harvester_local_overwrite: subjects harvester_local_overwrite: eprintid harvester_local_overwrite: userid harvester_local_overwrite: date harvester_local_overwrite: official_url harvester_local_overwrite: issn harvester_local_overwrite: dir harvester_local_overwrite: ispublished harvester_local_overwrite: oai_set harvester_local_overwrite: creators_affiliation harvester_local_overwrite: date_type harvester_local_overwrite: language harvester_local_overwrite: creators_name harvester_local_overwrite: faculty harvester_local_overwrite: refereed harvester_local_overwrite: site harvester_local_overwrite: divisions harvester_local_overwrite: type harvester_local_overwrite: title harvester_local_overwrite: publication harvester_local_overwrite: doi harvester_local_overwrite: abstract harvester_local_overwrite: number harvester_local_overwrite: id_number harvester_local_overwrite: volume harvester_local_overwrite: publisher harvester_local_overwrite: book_title harvester_local_overwrite: series harvester_local_overwrite: monograph_type harvester_local_overwrite: publish_to_hal harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub oai_lastmod: 2023-06-22T07:29:03Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 publish_to_hal: TRUE citation: Andersson, Henrik and Ouvrard, Benjamin (2023) Priming and the value of a statistical life: a cross country comparison.
