What are Households Willing to Pay for Better Tap Water Quality ? A Cross-Country Valuation Study.

Beaumais, Olivier; Briand, Anne; Millock, Katrin; … - Centre d'Économie de la Sorbonne, Université Paris 1 … - 2010

Using a unique cross-section sample from 10 OECD countries, we estimate willingness to pay for better quality of tap water. On the pooled sample, households are only willing to pay 7.5% of the median annual water bill to improve the quality of tap water. The highest relative willingness to pay...

Boelaert, Julien - Centre d'Économie de la Sorbonne, Université Paris 1 … - 2013

We introduce a new type of demand system using a feedforward artificial neural network. The neural network demand system is a flexible system that requires few hypotheses, has no roots in consumer theory but may be used to test it. We use the system to estimate demand elasticities on micro data...
