Willingness to Pay for Drinking Water in the Sahara: the Case of Douentza in Mali

چکیده
– La présente étude compare deux méthodes de prévision du consente-ment à payer pour de l'eau potable dans des systèmes d'adduction en région semi-urbaine au Sahara. Les deux modèles sont estimés en fonction des caractéristiques hypothétiques de divers points d'adduction possibles. Le premier modèle, reposant sur une régression multiple, prévoit la somme d'argent qu'un ménage consentira à payer pour chaque seau d'eau potable provenant d'une source donnée. Le second modèle, employant une spécification de type logit, vise à expliquer la décision d'acheter ou non de l'eau potable. Les deux approches reposent sur le modèle de prix complets tel que proposé par la théorie de la demande. Ce modèle explique la quantité d'eau demandée en fonction des prix et du coût d'opportunité du temps affecté à la consommation. Dans nos modèles empiriques, la variable explicative qui s'avère la plus significative est la proximité de la nouvelle source prévue divi-sée par la distance à la meilleure source existante. Summary – This study compares two methods of predicting the willingness to pay for drinking-water delivery systems in the semi-urban Sahara as a function of the hypothetical characteristics of possible water delivery points. The first, a linear regression model, predicts the monetary amount a household should be willing to pay for each bucket of water from the source. The second, a LOGIT model, explains the decision to purchase water or not. Both methods are based on the full-price budget constrained model of standard demand theory — which explains quantity demanded as a function of prices and the opportunity cost of time spent on consumption. The most consistently significant explanatory variable in our empirical models is the relative distance to the planned new source compared to the best existing source.
