Willingness to pay for environmental improvements in hydropower regulated rivers

Public preferences for electricity contracts including renewable energy: A marketing analysis with choice experiments

“…Some studies considered only generic RESs preferences [10,11]. Others considered a specific RES such as wind energy [12e19], solar photovoltaics [20], hydropower [21], tidal power plants [22] or biomass [23,24]. Others still made a comparison among RES preferences considering them simultaneously.…”

Assessment of the economic impact of environmental constraints on short-term hydropower plant operation

“…Second, it would be of great interest to compare the economic impact of the environmental constraints on the hydropower plant operation with their benefits for the downstream river reaches, trying to overcome, to the possible extent, the existing discrepancies in the time horizons associated with energy and ecological objectives (Jager and Smith, 2008). The results of the comparison could be checked against those of a willingness to pay study similar to Kataria (2009), and used as a reference to make decisions in water resources allocation processes, in the framework of the European Water Framework Directive (Heinz et al, 2007).…”

Valuing marine and coastal ecosystem service benefits: Case study of St Vincent and the Grenadines’ proposed marine protected areas

“…A normal distribution is assigned to the random parameters to allow respondents to have either positive or negative marginal utilities for the levels of the attributes (Kataria, 2009;Carlsson et al, 2003;Hanley et al, 2005).…”
