Abstract

La théorie économique propose un certains nombre de modèles qui visent à déterminer le montant optimal de bien public à produire sur la base des utilités individuelles. Pour avoir une portée pratique, ces modèles nécessitent de connaître le taux marginal de substitution entre bien privé et bien public. Pour cela, le recours à l'évaluation contingente s'est généralisé à travers le monde. Le problème principal posé par l'évaluation contingente est sa sensibilité à des biais. C'est-à-dire que des paramètres, qui en théorie ne devraient pas influer sur les réponses, ont en pratique une influence. Cet article propose une méthode inspirée de la psychologie sociale qui permet d'identifier les individus les moins sujets aux biais affectant l'évaluation contingente. Deux applications empiriques sont présentées.
