Does timing matter? The role of health information shocks in measuring willingness to pay
Our findings suggest that a recent HIS is associated with a higher probability of having a positive WTP. Timing, in relation to some relevant event, therefore may matter when measuring WTP for health interventions. If so, finding the optimal point in time to measure WTP is difficult and may depend on the policy question under consideration.
