In this paper we employ a choice experiment (conducted in Ukraine and Turkey) on the valuation of a marine restoration programme in the Black Sea, to examine whether the value of environmental goods is sensitive to the source of public financing. We contribute to the debate on the optimal...

This paper uses a tax revenues reallocation scheme as the payment vehicle in a choice experiment to value marine restoration in the Black Sea. Two reallocation treatments are administered; one proposing to reduce current public expenditures on renewable energy projects and the other, the training...

In this study we use a novel experimental design to isolate warm glow from pure altruism and measure the extent of warm glow in an auction that contributes the sum of revenues by highest bidders to a charity. We conduct one set of sessions with a standard student pool and a second set of...

This book aims to show that economics in general and non market valuation methods in particular, together with participatory and engineering tools, can facilitate the design and implementation of the different European policies in relation to mitigation of water stress. The results presented in...

The purpose of this paper is to explore a 'rapid appraisal' methodology for the assessment of the cost recovery level for water services, according to the provisions of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). We argue that a full and rigorous implementation of the economic aspects of this...

In this paper we employ a choice experiment to test the effect of the institution responsible for the management of an environmental good, on stated preferences. Specifically, we examine whether respondents� valuation of a forest restoration program in Greece is...

The Water Framework Directive (WFD) was formulated for addressing the weaknesses of the previous water-related directives. The main steps that WFD involves could be summarised in the setting of ecological standards, the identification of anthropogenic pressures and the adoption of corrective...

Running conventional laboratory experiments (i.e., with a standard student subject pool) is common practice in economic experiments especially when methodological issues are explored. However, generalization of the results from such experiments to the entire population is subject to severe...
