... demonstrate that at the county level, willingness to pay (WTP) exceeds willingness to accept (WTA) compensation. Finally, if a PES mechanism is site-specific, its feasibility depends on how the demand for and supply of the service meet at the narrowest geographical level. In our study, the probability...

There has also been conflicting evidence of whether or not the amount, or scope, of conservation influences the demand for environmental improvements in manners consistent with neoclassical...

... underestimates the true economic cost of health effects from exposure to a pollutant in that it ignores the cost of defensive actions taken as well as disutility. For the first time, the defensive behavior method is applied to calculate the willingness to pay for a reduction in one wildfire smoke induced symptom...
