In this paper, the results of empirical studies that applied two widely used methods - numerical certainty scale (NCS) and polychotmous choice (PC) - for estimating preference uncertainty adjusted willingness to pay (WTP) in contingent valuation (CV), are summarized. For this review, a number of...

The ordinal scale and polychotomous choice methods are two widely used techniques for estimating preference uncertainty in stated preference studies. This article presents the results of two experiments that apply these estimation techniques. The first experiment was designed to compare and...

Public scepticism surrounding climate change is an obstacle for implementing climate change mitigation measures in many countries. However, very little is known about: (1) the nature and sources of climate change scepticism; and (2) its influence on preferences for climate change mitigation...

Abstract Soil nutrient loss due to soil erosion and removal in harvest with traditional farming methods where farmers do not use any fertilisers threatens the sustainability of vegetable productions in the Philippine uplands. Consequently, poor farmers are losing incomes due to declining yields....

This study provides a method to combine hydro-ecological response model outputs and nonmarket economic values of wetland inundation to estimate a unit price of environmental water. We show how an integrated socio-economic and hydro-ecological modelling approach may assist policy makers with...

This paper presents an empirical investigation of socio-economic resilience to natural disasters of a tropical cyclone-prone coastal community in Bangladesh. It applies the state-and-transition model, a widely used applied ecology model, to (1) assess the current state of socio-economic...

The main objective of this paper is to provide additional empirical evidence of what explains respondent uncertainty in contingent valuation (CV) and how this in turn affects stated willingness to pay (WTP). Air travelers asked to pay a carbon travel tax to offset carbon emissions from flying...

This paper presents the results of the first natural experiment in the stated preference literature that tests for the stability of environmental values in the event of a catastrophic natural disaster. Two subsequent choice experiment surveys were conducted in Southeast Queensland, a region of...

This study aims to provide an estimate of non-consumptive use and non-use values for controlling invasive pest species in Queensland’s bioregions. Bioregions are geologically and ecologically distinct land areas. Bioregion specific values are estimated to assist the development of landscape...
