Protest Beliefs and Responses in Contingent Valuation and Choice Experiments: A Comparison
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the literature it is suggested that the number of protest responses can depend on the valuation method. Choice Experiments (CE) are said to generate a lower number of protest responses than Contingent Valuation (CV). In a project about forest biodiversity both CE and CV were used and protest beliefs of all respondents irrespective of their willingness to pay determined. According to our analysis no definite pattern arises that shows that CV generates more protest beliefs or protest responses. A protest scale based on the protest beliefs indicates a significant negative influence of these beliefs in both CE and CV.

The extension of contingent valuation models with an attitude-behavior based framework has been proposed in order to improve the descriptive and predictive ability of the models. This study examines the potential of the theory of planned behavior to explain willingness to pay (WTP) in a contingent valuation survey of the recreational benefits of the Zurich city forests. Two aspects of WTP respo...

متن کاملIncreasing the Validity of Valuing Biodiversity: Reducing Protest Responses by Deliberative Monetary Valuation
This paper focuses on increasing the validity of biodiversity valuation. A group deliberation technique (Deliberative Monetary Valuation) is supplemented by a contingent valuation (CV) survey. An exceptionally large number of focus groups provided basis for applying a relatively unproven methodology and comparing the results with CV. We present evidence that our interpretation of DMV tackles so...
