On the Use of Cheap Talk in New Product Valuation Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • This study reports on the potential use of cheap talk in hypothetical new product valuation research using a simple field experiment eliciting subjects' willingness to pay for a new product. While cheap talk has been used in the non-market valuation literature, its application in hypothetical new product valuation research is very limited.
