Urban and Wildland-urban interface area residents of Larimer and Boulder counties in Northern Colorado were surveyed using a dichotomous choice contingent valuation approach in order to compare the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for fuels treatment programs of counties with different demographic attributes and the WTP of different geographical groups within each county. This paper reports preliminary...

Abstract Nigeria is endowed with abundant sunshine year-round; thus, solar PV would solve the environmental problems associated petrol-powered generators. However, it unclear whether households are willing to transition. Thus, we analyze households’ willingness pay (WTP) for under four scenarios: (i) WTP when a complemented generator, (ii) completely displaces (iii) plus subsidy, and (iv) given...

We model how to measure consumer willingness to pay (WTP) from an English or ascending first-price auction based on two general bidding premises: no bidder bids more than her WTP, and no bidder allows a rival bidder to win at a price that she is willing to beat. We thus impose no structural assumptions on rationality of bidders in a competitive auction context. Our approach is also based on the...

Fee-based agricultural extension programmes have been proposed in response to the constraints of funding public services. This has piqued researchers' interest determining farmers' willingness pay (WTP) for services recent decades. The current study examines WTP ensure sustainability plant clinics. Smallholder farmers over 30 countries benefit from this demand-driven method, which delivers heal...

• Homeowners value energy efficiency beyond expected heating cost savings. They have strongly heterogeneous preferences for different technologies. Fossil fuel users are not willing to pay required premiums low-carbon options. Targeted subsidies combined with information can help phasing out fossil fuels. We elicit homeowners’ willingness (WTP) and technologies in the context of appliance repla...

Reducing the undesirable outcomes of wind power (WP) in vicinity homes with forest management practices can increase acceptance WP. If owners would avoid clear felling and use light close to towards turbines, residents might be interested paying for such a ‘landscape shield’ payment ecosystem services (PES) context. The majority (83.7%) survey sample from Finland were participating PES mechanis...

Households’ demand for electricity continues to increase. This trend per se should indicate increased disutility from power outages. Additionally, batteries and other back-up systems have been improved, the frequency duration of outages reduced in many countries. By comparing results two stated preference studies on Swedish households’ willingness pay (WTP) avoid 2004 2017, we investigate wheth...

Rivers are under enormous threat worldwide and large amounts of money invested in river restoration. Contrary to the costs, benefits restoration much harder quantify. In this study, restoring different sections Yongding River Beijing, China, estimated through a discrete choice experiment (DCE). Place attachment is measured by sampling residents upstream downstream using as labelled alternatives...
