摘要：This paper compares contingent values for a hypothetical landscape protection
programme with respondents’ voting behaviour in an actual referendum. We use the
example of a proposed increase of expenditures for landscape protection in the canton
of Zurich, Switzerland. In particular we examine (i) CVM bid magnitudes of the
different voter groups, (ii) relationships between qualitative response categories, (iii)
consistency of responses assuming tax increases are known, and (iv) associations with
socio-economic characteristics. Results suggest a strong upward bias of hypothetical
values, possibly indicating that many respondents failed to realistically consider their
budget constraints in the hypothetical choice situation
