Why Are Nonmarket Values Needed • Allocation of resources • Budgeted • Regulatory • Reduced resource use • Avoidance of costs
Ways to Measure • Willingness to make tradeoffs, sacrifices, or pay directly • Measure with a simulated market (stated preference) • Observe actual behavior (revealed preference)
Hedonic Modeling • Statistically isolate the effect of differences in the characteristics and contexts of a category of property • Price = f (positive attributes, negative attributes) • Subject property • Urban houses • Building lots • Recreation areas
Travel Cost Model • Used to value recreation areas • Based on out-of-pocket and opportunity cost to travel to a destination • Zonal • Individual • Costs that can be added • Entrance fee • Equipment • License – hunting, fishing
Stated Preference • A direct measurement • Willingness to pay • Amount individual would be willing to pay to engage in a defined activity • Willingness to accept • Amount individual would accept in payment for not doing something
Contingent Valuation Model • Setup a hypothetical market • Describe characteristics of the thing or opportunity for sale • Describe attributes of the market • Individual states what they would pay for the thing or opportunity • Survey techniques used • Many potential biases
