This paper addresses the sensitivity of dichotomous choice contingent valuation method (DC CVM) based mean willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates to the DC CVM sample design and to alternative measures of WTP. This issue is examined both analytically and empirically. The analysis of ten different DC...

This paper compares the performance of four approaches to calculating confidence intervals around dichotomous choice contingent valuation method (DC CVM) benefit estimates. The performance of the approaches is compared using Monte Carlo simulation techniques for the two most common...
