Book Description
This major reference work the first of its kind provides a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to the large and growing literature on contingent valuation. It includes entries on over 7,500 contingent valuation papers and studies from over 130 countries covering both the published and grey literatures. This book provides an interpretive historical account of the development of contingent valuation, the most commonly used approach to placing a value on goods not normally sold in the marketplace. The major fields catalogued here include culture, the environment, and health application. This bibliography is an ideal starting point for researchers wanting to find other studies that have valued goods or used techniques similar to those they are interested in. For those wanting to conduct meta analyses, the book will serve as an invaluable guide to source material. For those wanting to conduct meta analyses, the book will serve as an invaluable guide to source material. In addition to the print edition we offer access, for purchasers of the book, to a website providing the contents of as a searchable Word document and in a variety of standard bibliographic database forms. Contingent Valuation is an indispensable reference source for researchers, scholars and policymakers concerned with survey approaches to the problem of environmental valuation.

Pages : 516
Book Description
The papers in this volume present a quite critical assessment of contingent valuation (CV). CV is a survey method that attempts to estimate individual values for economic goods by asking people hypothetical questions about their willingness to pay for such goods. In economics, CV has previously been studied almost solely by economists specializing in environmental economics. This book, however, reports research which is mainly from economists with specialities in economic theory, econometrics, and public finance, rather than from the more narrowly focused research of environmental economists. In addition, the research of specialists in psychology, market research, and litigation is included.
Handbook on Contingent Valuation
Author: Anna AlberiniPublisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
The Handbook on Contingent Valuation is unique in that it focuses on contingent valuation as a method for evaluating environmental change. It examines econometric issues, conceptual underpinnings, implementation issues as well as alternatives to contingent valuation. Anna Alberini and James Kahn have compiled a comprehensive and original reference volume containing invaluable case studies that demonstrate the implementation of contingent valuation in a wide variety of applications. Chapters include those on the history of contingent valuation, a practical guide to its implementation, the use of experimental approaches, an ecological economics perspective on contingent valuation and approaches for developing nations. The Handbook also contains: P discussions of underlying theory both contingent valuation and conjoint analysis comparisons of real and hypothetical data using experimental approaches an examination of survey structure issues developing country focus critical essays concerning the ethical basis of contingent valuation. This new reference book will be warmly welcomed by academics in environmental economics, environmental professionals in government, consulting firms and NGOs. Graduate and undergraduate students in economics, environmental studies and environmental policy will also find this an ever valuable resource.
Essays on the Temporal Insensitivity, Optimal Bid Design and Generalized Estimation Models in the Contingent Valuation Study

Book Description
Abstract: This dissertation aims to provide answers to some of issues in dichotomous choice contingent valuation: the temporal structure of willingness to pay, practical guideline for survey design and generalized estimation method. The first essay proposes the temporal willingness to pay (TWTP) as an alternative definition of the present value of willingness to pay. In the survey of contingent valuation, a respondent compares TWTP with the present value of randomly assigned cost. TWTP enables the test for consistency of respondent's valuation with respect to payment schemes. Using a sequential test, the insensitivity of TWTP is tested on the data of oyster reef restoration programs in the Chesapeake Bay. The test result shows that TWTP is insensitive to the offered payment schedule or on the length of the stream of benefits of the project, which implies consistent willingness to pay for the environmental project. However, discount rates estimated from the data vary significantly across project lengths and time span between offered payment schedules. The second essay suggests a practical alternative design named a uniform design, to existing optimal or robust bid designs in contingent valuation. The uniform design draws cost assigned to respondent from a predetermined uniform distribution. Analytics and simulations show that the uniform design has lower bound of efficiency at 84 percent of D-optimum. Simulations demonstrate that the uniform design outperforms optimal designs when initial information is poor and outperforms robust designs when true values of parameters are known. The third essay challenges the theoretical and technical background of the simple logit model. Standard logit model in contingent valuation assumes i.i.d error distribution between initial and proposed states. Relaxing the restrictive assumption in the simple logit model requires a generalized estimation technique that utilizes a Gumbel mixed model. Estimation results show that correlation between two states is usually minimal, but homoskedastic errors are rejected in many cases. Heteroskedasticity or correlation provides willingness to pay estimate different from estimate of the simple logit, thus different policy implication in benefit-cost analysis.
