N2 - It is well known that some percentage of respondents participating in Stated Preferencesurveys will not give responses which reflect their true preferences. One reason is protestbehaviour. If the distribution of protest responses is not independent of respondentdemographics, the elicitation method, the question format, etc., then simply expellingprotesters from surveys will lead to sample selection issues. Furthermore, WTP estimateswill not be comparable across surveys. This paper seeks to explore potential causes ofprotest behaviour through a meta-study based on data from 10 different surveys. Theobjective of the study is to examine the effect of respondent specific variables as well assurvey specific variables on protest behaviour. Our results suggest that some of thedifferences in WTP typically observed between different demographic groups, differentelicitation formats and different question formats might actually be attributed to inherentdifferences in the propensity to protest. Our results indicate that the propensity forrespondents to exhibit protest behaviour when asked a stated preference type valuationquestion depends on a number of specific factors, respondent specific as well as surveyspecific.
