Microdata Sample (PUMS) to value climate amenities using both methods. We compare estimates of marginal willingness to pay (MWTP …), first assuming homogeneous tastes for climate amenities and then allowing preferences for climate amenities to vary by … location. We find that mean MWTP for warmer winters is about four times larger using the discrete choice approach than with the …
