Are Preference Reversals Due to Decision Contexts Or Elicitation Procedures? a Theoretical Reconciliation

We compare preferences elicited through choice and WTP/WTA in three classic paradigms of decision-context effects: intertemporal tradeoffs, acquisition versus forfeiture, and the attraction effect. We find that preference reversals across decision contexts occur when preferences are elicited through choice, but not when preferences are elicited through WTP/WTA.
