Book Description
Suggesting that contingency valuation techniques (based on stated preference methods) are useful tools for examining environmental goods and services, Nunes (environmental economics, Free U., The Netherlands) focuses on the modeling of the "warmglow" effect (the pleasure of protecting the environment). He tests whether warmglow is an underlying driving force of individual contingency valuation responses. The goal is to separate warmglow from willingness-to-pay (WTP) mean estimates in order to compute a purer WTP. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
