Resumo
Los experimentos de elección suelen incluir en sus opciones de elección un status quo (i.e. situación actual sin cambios, SQ). En la literatura se ha identificado el efecto SQ como una preferencia sistemática por el SQ sobre las demás alternativas más allá de las capturadas por la variación de los niveles de los atributos. En este artículo se presenta un meta-análisis de experimentos de elección aplicados a política ambiental para identificar las causas potenciales del efecto SQ. Los resultados muestran que la incorporación de la heterogeneidad en el análisis econométrico, la exclusión de respuestas protesta y la disminución del esfuerzo cognitivo asociado a la elección reducen la presencia del efecto SQ.
