Abstract
Choice experiments have gained considerable popularity in ecosystem service valuation. In a one-shot survey respondents are faced with a strenuous task asking them to discover and monetize their preferences for often unfamiliar ecosystem services in a previously unknown hypothetical market situation. We present a deliberative choice experiment that aims to generate well-rationalized value estimates for policy advice. Two aspects of deliberation- discussion and time to reflect-are examined in terms of their effect on preference refinement. We find more comprehensive choice motives after deliberation, as well as indications for preference adjustment and a slight increase in choice certainty.
