摘要:Controversy remains over the degree of hypothetical bias in contingent valutation method
(CVM) estimates of values for public goods, especially for public goods with significant
passive-use values. This paper uses an “indifferent voter” approach to calibrate stated WTP
for a proposed public good increase with actual WTP implied by voting and tax liability data.
Our data are from a CVM survey and an actual voting decision on propositions to increase
public funds for landscape amenities protection in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland
