Choice modelling and its potential application to tropical rainforest preservation

Households Preferences and Willingness to Pay for Watershed Services Attributes in North Selangor Peat Swamp Forest Malaysia

“…The inclusion of socio-economic attributes is an important step for estimating more accurate models of choice, (McConnell and Tseng, 1999;Rolfe et al, 2000). As socio-demographic variables are the same for a given respondent, apart from selecting options 1, 2 or 3, for each choice question, so these variables entered the model with interaction of the attributes variables.…”

Managing coastal area resources by stated choice experiments

“…CE is a structured technique where respondents have to choose their most preferred alternative from a set of alternatives. For environmental studies, CEs have recently been applied in forest (Rolfe et al, 2000;Horne et al, 2003;Lehtonen et al, 2003), wetland (Kuriyama, 1998;Carlsson et al, 2003), fishery (Wattage et al, 2005), waste management (Garrod and Willis, 1998;Guikema, 2005), water supply (Haider and Rasid, 2002;Hanley et al, 2005), hunting (Boxall et al, 1996;Bullock et al, 1998) and renewable energy (Á lvarez-Farizo and Hanley, 2002). Although the number of CEs studies continues to increase, to our knowledge none has addressed oil spill contingency management at present.…”

Willingness to pay among households to prevent coastal resources from polluting by oil spills: A pilot survey

“…As an alternative, Choice Experiments (CEs) provide a structured technique where respondents are asked to choose their most preferred alternative from a set of alternatives rather than to state their maximum willingness to pay for a specific natural resource. CEs has recently been applied to management problems in diverse fields such as forestry (Horne et al, 2003;Rolfe et al, 2000;Lehtonen et al, 2003), wetland conservation (Carlsson et al, 2003;Kuriyama, 1998), fishery (Wattage et al, 2005), waste treatment (Guikema, 2005;Garrod and Willis, 1998), water supply (Hanley et al, 2005;Haider and Rasid, 2002), life-stock management under hunting (Bullock et al, 1998;Boxall et al, 1996) and renewable energy (Álvarez-Farizo and Hanley, 2002). Although the number of CEs studies continues to increase, to our knowledge, to date none has addressed oil spill contingency management.…”
