This paper presents results of a nonmarket valuation study that employs both methods to elicit public preferences over uncertainty of outcomes and over management strategies. The two methods were...

...) to participate, we conduct a contingent valuation survey of non-industrial private forest owners in Norway. We find that WTA is negatively related to the size of the forest holding and absentee ownership, and positively related to the share of the forest classified as productive. The overall mean WTA per year...

... Portugal by implementing a contingent valuation experiment where an advanced landscape visualisation technique is employed to generate the visual information conveyed in the valuation scenarios. Several econometric model specifications are considered as well as alternative approaches to handle zero...

.... As a result forest man- agers must decide how to allocate limited conservation resources over heterogeneous landscapes. We develop an attribute-based contingent valuation approach that allows us to perform cost- benefit analysis on control programs and inform the distribution of mitigation effort over land...

... within a subjective expected utility modeling approach. Our empirical analysis draws on data from a contingent valuation design carried out in 2006 in the Landes district in France. The empirical distribution of the subjective probability of fire risk is deduced from the forest owners’ perception of fire...

... Europe. We apply the contingent valuation method to assess a programme whereby 10% of the electricity produced from coal, fuel oil and gas would be replaced by electricity generated in biomass power plants. The programme would begin implementation in 2005 and it would take 6 years (up to 2010) before we...

...Michael LeVert; Thomas Stevens; Dave Kittredge A contingent valuation survey of forest landowners in Southern Vermont and Western Massachusetts suggests that it would cost about $700 per acre to entice about one-half of Massachusetts and 33% of Vermont respondents to permanently conserve...

...Serge Garcia; Patrice Harou; Claire Montagné; Anne Stenger In this article, we use two formats of contingent valuation (CV) questions to elicit willingness to pay (WTP) for maintaining biodiversity in forests: the dichotomous choice (DC) or referendum format and the open-ended (OE) question...

...Mattias Boman In applied contingent valuation research, the so-called multiple-bounded dichotomous choice (MBDC) willingness to pay (WTP) question format allows respondents to express uncertainty about their valuations. Response data from such questions are typically treated as ordinal, since...

... method is used to test the sensitivity of the models’ log-likelihood values to the removal of contingent valuation (CV) responses collected at individual forest sites. We find that a stable function improves our measure of transfer reliability, but not by much. We conclude that, in empirical studies...
