This paper provides new evidence on the capitalization of agricultural land and externalities on housing prices. We evaluate households' willingness to pay for proximity to agricultural land (regardless of farming system) on one hand, and proximity to organic land on the other. To conduct a...

In recent years, problems related to the adequacy of existing water resources have arisen due to issues such as population growth, rapid urbanization, industrialization, and climate change. In the study, by comparing the agricultural productions with wastewater and well water, 2 hypotheses have...

This paper introduces an advanced method that integrates contingent valuation and machine learning (CVML) to estimate residents’ demand for reducing or mitigating environmental pollutions and climate change. To be precise, CVML is an innovative hybrid machine-learning model, and it can...

In this paper, we investigate the effect of respondents’ attitudes concerning distributive justice in payments on their stated preferences for programmes reducing ambient air pollution in four cities in Poland. By combining two multi-factorial survey experiments, we propose a novel approach of...

Despite the growing popularity of environmental labels in the food market, the effectiveness of a generic environmental label without specifying benefits compared to a label explicitly stating the associated benefits of relevant production practices remains unclear. We examine this issue by...

Having an accurate account of preferences help governments design better policies for their citizens, organizations develop more efficient incentive schemes for their employees and adjust their product to better suit their clients' needs. The plethora of elicitation methods most commonly used...

Following early economist Francis Y. Edgeworth's proposal to measure people's hedonic experiences as they go about their daily lives, we use a smartphone app that over eight years randomly asked a panel of 30, 936 UK residents (N = 2, 235, 733) about their momentary feelings and activities to...

Informal workers in low- and middle-income countries are vulnerable to economic shocks since their jobs lack health and retirement benefits. Are workers informal because they do not value these benefits offered by formal jobs? Using a discrete choice experiment on a random sample of 2,900...

Theory dictates that willingness to pay to avoid an electricity outage should be at least as high as the direct cost incurred during the outage. In a contingent valuation survey of 4,000 Norwegian households, we estimate the willingness to pay to avoid an electricity outage. We ask the same...

The inclusion of non-monetary payments may be appropriate in developing countries. In this paper, we depart from this previous literature by adopting a non-excluding approach between two payment alternatives, which we claim is appropriate in urban, middle-or high-income settings. We adopt two...
