The dataset includes responses from a contingent valuation of the national climate change mitigation policies in Germany. The online survey was carried out in the spring of 2014. It assesses the willingness to pay for an increase of the national CO2 reduction target by 10 percentage points, which closely represents Germany's climate change mitigation strategy. Respondents were randomly allocated to one of the following three question formats: The dichotomous choice referendum, the dissonance minimizing referendum and the two-sided payment ladder. The data is used to estimate willingness to pay across different question formats in "The Role of Question Format for the Support for National Climate Change Mitigation Policies in Germany and the Determinants of WTP" [1]. The data can be used to investigate the influence of alternative statistical approaches on the willingness to pay measures and their comparison across question formats.
