Abstract
⺠We study a new type of order effect using a survey about climate policy preferences. ⺠Earlier studies emphasize information order in the choice scenarios themselves. ⺠Our survey randomizes information order in prior attitude elicitation questions. ⺠Arbitrary order in background information can affect later choices and WTP amounts. ⺠Results suggest the importance of randomizing preliminary information in surveys.
