This paper describes a Choice Modelling experiment set up to investigate the relationship between distance and willingness to pay for environmental quality changes. The issue is important for the estimation and transfer of benefits. The Choice Modelling experiment allows testing distance effects...

The willingness to pay (WTP)/willingness to accept (WTA) disparity raises serious questions about preference elicitation techniques based on the Hicksian model of decision-making. In this paper we investigate the possibility of incorporating the strategies suggested by Plott and Zeiler (2005) in...

In this paper we experiment with an original format of a Choice Modelling questionnaire developed to capture preferences from respondents with different property right frame of references. The format includes both WTP and WTA choice alternatives for native vegetation management. It is well...

This article tests for the effect of distance on non-use values using a Choice Modelling (CM) experiment. Estimating a distance decay relationship for non-use values (NUVs) is important because it would define the market area for an environmental good, i.e. identify the limits for aggregating...

This paper illustrates the design and implementation of a choice modelling experiment to determine the spatial distribution of environmental benefits of Kings Park (Western Australia). The objective is to understand which environmental change produces benefit spillovers, and whether this...

In many Asian countries, women play a significant but varying role in the management of livestock and the use of common resources plays an important role in animal husbandry, and can affect the health of some types of livestock. This paper concentrates on village livestock in Thailand and makes...

International health organisations point to the need to improve the efficiency of prevention, control and eradication programs for animal diseases. In order to achieve this and justify national and international support it has become essential to apply techniques of economic analysis (Ellis,...

This paper examines the development of animal health information systems at the farm, national and international level, with examples of some systems that have been developed. Methods for the assessment of animal health information systems are then examined. This is followed by an outline of the...

The common cattle tick has been a problem to Australian cattle producers since its arrival from Java since 1872. Over the past thirty years, a considerable research agenda on optimum cattle tick management strategies for individual producers has been conducted. However only a limited focus has...

This paper develops a method for estimating the value of additional information to the individual livestock producer. In doing so it considers as part of the decision made by the farmer to vaccinate animals against B. bovis the decision to collect information on the health status of his herd...
