In this paper, we propose a behavioral approach to determine the extent to which the consumer/citizen distinction affects interpretations of monetary values in stated preferences methods. We perform a field experiment dealing with air pollution, where some (randomly selected) subjects are given...

[ger] Qualität ist ein entscheidendes Merkmal der Freizeiterfahrungen und somit der Nachfrage nach Freizeittätigkeiten. Bei der herkömmlichen Methoden der wirtschaftlichen Bewertung ist es jedoch noch schwer, den multidimensionalen Ansatz einzubeziehen. Aber auch die Methode der...

[fre] L'évaluation contingente est couramment utilisée pour donner un prix aux actifs naturels. Le traitement économétrique des valeurs obtenues à l'aide de cette méthode directe de révélation des préférences pose des problèmes du fait du nombre élevé (généralement autour de 50%)...

Overexploitation of renewable resources, and more particularly fisheries, is often driven by the lack of information about the state and dynamics of the resource. A solution to this problem stemming from the resource users is proposed in this paper. We use an agent-based model composed of a...

In this paper, we try to evaluate the benefits of biodiversity restoration in the southwest of France, along the Garonne river. This particular riparian forest has been studied extensively by a group of ecologists belonging to the CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research) in Toulouse. A...

We extend the individual dynamic model of lifetime resource allocation to assess the monetary value given to the increase in survival probabilities for every member of a household induced by improved air quality. We interpret this monetary value as VPF (value of a prevented fatality), which can...
