However. among products with nutritional Information. subjects' willingness to pay values differ depending oil the type of nutritional label on the product In addition, the authors find evidence that inclusion of reference prices leads to higher birds [JEL classifications: D12, C23] (C) Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
