“…There have been few tests of the question-behavior effect in health psychology research, but tests to date have been restricted to a small number of behavioral domains. Three studies have examined the QBE in relation to blood donation (Godin et al, 2010a; Godin, Sheeran, Conner, & Germain, 2008; Stutzer, Goette, & Zehnder, 2007). For example, Godin et al (2008) showed that completing a questionnaire measuring a range of behavior-relevant cognitions including intentions produced a significant effect on objectively assessed blood donation behavior.…”

The sustainability of the welfare state ultimately depends on citizens' preferences for income redistribution. They are elicited through a Discrete Choice Experiment performed in 2008 in Switzerland. Attributes are redistribution as GDP share, its uses (the unemployed, old-age pensioners, people with ill health etc.), and nationality of beneficiary. Estimated marginal willingness to pay (WTP) is positive among those who deem benefits too low, and negative otherwise. However, even those who state that government should reduce income inequality exhibit a negative WTP on average. The major finding is that estimated average WTP is maximum at 21% of GDP, clearly below the current value of 25%. Thus, the present Swiss welfare state does not appear sustainable.

The sustainability of the welfare state ultimately depends on citizens' preferences for income redistribution. The major contribution of this paper is the novel elicitation of these preferences through a Discrete Choice Experiment performed in Switzerland. Attributes of the good are the share of GDP devoted to redistribution, its uses (the unemployed, old-age pensioners, people with ill health etc.), and nationality of beneficiary. Estimated marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) is positive among those who deem current social benefits too low, and negative otherwise. However, even those stating that government should reduce income inequality exhibit a negative MWTP on average. The estimated average WTP is maximum at 21 percent of GDP as of 2008, clearly below and significantly different from the current value of 25 percent. Thus, the Swiss welfare state does not appear sustainable in its present extent.
