Hitting the bullseye

Accurately measuring willingness to pay for innovations with open and closed direct questions

Project overview

Understanding customers' willingness to pay (WTP) at a very early stage of product development is crucial for the success of innovation. Since there are no actual products at this stage, researchers can only collect hypothetical willingness to pay, which can lead to measurement errors. In this project, we investigate which survey formats are preferable in this phase.
