AB We present data of a contingent valuation survey, testing the effect of evaluationmode on the monetary valuation of preventing road accidents. Half of the intervieweeswas asked to state their willingness to pay (WTP) to reduce the risk of havingonly 1 type of injury (separate evaluation, SE), and the other half of the samplewas asked to state their WTP for 4 types of injuries evaluated simultaneously (jointevaluation, JE). In the SE group, we observed lack of sensitivity to scope while inthe JE group WTP increased with the severity of the injury prevented. However,WTP values in this group were subject to context effects. Our results suggest thatthe traditional explanation of the disparity between SE and JE, namely, the so‐called“evaluability,” does not apply here. The paper presents new explanations based onthe role of preference imprecision.
