| In environmental valuation surveys, some respondents state a zero
willingness to pay that does not reflect their preferences. Among
the rationale for such a value, I focus on mistrust in institutions.
The results in the existing literature depends on whether the effect
is identified by respondents' statements or by a random assignment
of the managing institution. This paper tackle this issue using a new identification strategy. By merging
country data on perception of institutions with meta-data from environmental
valuation surveys, I am able to estimate the effect of trust
in institutions on the protest responses in the surveys, wiping out the effect
of each studies' specificities. Results show that trust in institutions
is not a significant determinants of protest responses. |
