Abstract: An important methodological issue in stated-preference (SP) experiments is the inclusion and format of an opt-out option. A split-sample design is used in a saltwater angling SP survey to test how including a "no-trip" option influences attribute salience relative to an option that allows respondents to choose their customary site.
