This paper describes production analogs to the conditions used in consumer theory to recover measures of willingness to pay for non-marketed environmental resources. The analysis suggests that both weak complementarity and Hicksian neutrality have production analogs. Moreover, it indicates that...

This paper argues that the widespread belief that discrete contingent valuation (CV) questions yield substantially larger estimates of the mean (and the median) willingness to pay (WTP) for nonmarket environmental resources in comparison to estimates from open-ended CV questions is unfounded. A...

The purpose of this research is to use measures of willingness to pay derived from random utility models as the basis for evaluating the properties of parametric and nonparametric estimators with binary choice data. Monte Carlo simulation results indicate that simple parametric methods...

The purpose of this research is to use measures of willingness to pay derived from random utility models as the basis for evaluating the properties of parametric and nonparametric estimators with binary choice data. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to evaluate two parametric methods and a...
