In this paper we aim - through an 'experimentally-adapted' Contingent Valuation survey - to look into the attributes of Ghanaians' willingness-to-pay for green products. This would help us addressing two main issues: first, from a theoretical point of view, we shall assess whether Ghanaians show...

Previous research indicates that risky and uncertain marginal returnsfrom the public good significantly lower contributions. This paper presentsexperimental results illustrating that the effects of risk and uncertainty dependon the employed parameterization. Specifically, if the value of the...

The study investigates protective responses in low probability and high loss risk situations.Particularly, it (1) detects individual protection valuations to variations in probability versus tovariations in loss for payment decisions and choice decisions, (2) elicits the thresholdprobability in...
