Why do firms participate in the EPA's voluntary environmental programs? Possible reasons include: (1) to appeal consumers who demand ‘green’ products; (2) preempt government regulation; (3) seek regulatory relief from agency; and (4) gain a competitive advantage over competitors. This article examines determinants of participation programs, focusing on testing hypotheses 1 3. To test 2, different approach is used than previous literature. The focus specified universe (manufacturing Standard...
This paper introduces model specifications that can be used to explain response incentive effects might occur with discrete contingent valuation data when follow-up responses are collected.The models allowfor possible random shocks, structural ships in willingness pay betweenpayment questionsand heteroskedasticity between and within responses.Three well-known survey datasets include payment questions empirically test the models.
Using conjoint choice experiments, we surveyed 473 Swiss homeowners about their preferences for energy efficiency home renovations. We find that are responsive to the upfront costs of renovation projects, government-offered rebates, savings in expenses, time horizon over which such would be realized, and thermal comfort improvement. The implicit discount rate is low, ranging from 1.5 3%, depending on model specification. This consistent with Hassett Metcalf (1993) Rosenthal (1995), fact our...
We compare cost-of-illness (COI) and willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates of the damages from minor respiratory symptoms associated with air pollution, using data a study in Taiwan 1991-92. A contingent valuation survey was conducted to estimate WTP avoid illnesses. Health diaries were analyzed predict likelihood cost seeking relief missing work. As predicted by economic theory, is greater than COI estimates, exceeding latter 1.61 2.26 times, depending on pollution levels. These ratios are...
What is the rate at which people discount future lives saved? The answer to this question has important implications when comparing policies on grounds of cost per life saved, especially in context hazardous waste site remediation, where risk reductions may occur different times, depending permanence remedy. We estimate by asking a sample Italian residents choose between saving 100 now and X T years, both are varied respondents. Assuming constant exponential discounting, responses these...
