Using Contingent Valuation in the Design of Payments for Environmental Services Mechanisms : A Review and Assessment

As the use of payments for environmental services (PES) programs for conservation has grown in developing countries, the use of stated preference methods, particularly contingent valuation (CV) surveys, to estimate the maximum amount that users of...

This paper reviews 25 CV studies conducted in the context of PES programs (CV-PES) and assesses their quality and usefulness for designing PES programs. Almost all these studies attempt to estimate the demand of downstream water users for up-stream watershed protection and, more generally, for improved water services. Most studies were methodologically uninspired and generally low-quality applications of stated preference methods, with limited policy relevance. The quality and usefulness of CV-PES studies could be substantially improved at only a modest increase in costs. 2014-04-17T16:12:22Z 2014-04-17T16:12:22Z 2011-02 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2011/02/19304137/using-contingent-valuation-design-payments-environmental-services-mechanisms-review-assessment http://hdl.handle.net/10986/17891 English en_US Payments for Environmental Services (PES) learning paper;no. 2011-2 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper
