摘要：How to deal with the risks associated with nuclear energy is a major policy issue. This paper investigates the effect of an individual’s distance from nuclear power plants on willingness to pay for increased insurance coverage against nuclear accidents (MWP C ) as well as on willingness to pay for solving the nuclear waste disposal problem (MWP W ). Using data from a discrete choice experiment conducted in Switzerland, we find evidence that MWP C values decrease with distance from plant once attitudes influencing choice of residential location are controlled for. However, distance from plant has no effect on MWP W values.
