Social Psychology and Environmental Economics: A New Look at Ex Ante Corrections of Biased Preference EvaluationNicolas JacquemetParis School of Economics (PSE); Université de Lorraine, BETA Alexander G.

ShogrenUniversity of Wyoming - College of Business - Department of Economics and Finance October 2010 Environmental and Resource Economics, Vol. 48, No 3 Abstract: The field of social psychology explores how a person behaves within the context of other people. The social context can play a substantive role in non-market allocation decisions given peoples choices and values extend beyond the classic market-based exchange institution. Herein we explore how social psychology has affected one aspect of environmental economics: preference elicitation through survey work. We discuss social representation, social isolation, framing through cheap talk, and commitment theory through an oath.
