The impacts of elicitation context on stated preferences for agricultural landscapes
No full textFunded by UK Research Council, ESRC, and NERC.Statements of willingness to pay (WTP) have been shown to be dependent upon the framing of the hypothetical market. In this paper we investigate the effects of variations in the timing and location of choice experiment questions concerned with conservation of a UK national park, as research involving measurement of psychological well-being suggests potential differences for the same individual dependent upon when and where preferences are elicited. We apply the choice experiment technique to the valuation of changes in upland agricultural and semi-natural landscapes in the Peak District National Park in the UK, to investigate whether timing and location of elicitation (context) affects the value associated with changes in ecosystem services under different management regimes. Four treatments are employed - using the same sample of individuals answering the same choice scenarios - to measure WTP ex-ante (off site), in situ (on site), and ex-post at two different time intervals (off site). We show that our on-site (in situ) treatment generates very different estimates of preferences than any of the off-site treatments. That stated preferences associated with environmental goods are so context dependent may have implications for the use of stated preferences in policy analysis in terms of identifying how environmental policy is funded and the divergence in value attributed to sampling different populations.Peer reviewe

Head with frons parallel-sided, not medially depressed, three times as wide as eye, apex truncate medially, lateral 1/8 slightly retracted, angle acute (Fig. 108); eye canthus long, about 3/4 times width of eye. Prosternum with lateral carina on each side extended from apex of intercoxal process 1/4 distance to apex of prosternum, straight. Epipleuron moderately descending externally. Postcoxal line on basal abdominal ventrite evenly curved, extended 2/3 distance to rear margin of ventrite. Genitalia with spermathecal capsule short, gradually widened from base of ramus to abruptly rounded apex of cornu (Fig. 109). Male. Unknown. Variation. Length 2.3 to 2.4 mm., a single paratype has the black, median, elytral macula brown, not strongly distinctive from color of remainder of elytra. Type material. Holotype female: PERU: Madre de Dios Dept., CICRA Field Stn, near intrsctn trails 19, 15, and 27, 56713° S 70.09184° W, 270 m. 14.VI.2011, CS Chaboo, ex. Heliconia, PER-11-CSC-026 (MUSM). Paratypes (2): 1, PERU: Madre de Dios: CICRA Field Stn, garden, 12.56940° S 70.10100° W, 260 m, 2-11-X,2010, MJ Endaraa, malaise trap, PER10-10-MAT-018; 1, PERU: Madre de Dios Dept., CICRA Field Stn, trl 6, research plot, 12.55207° S 70.10962° W, Malaise trap, PER-11-MAT-029 (MUSM). Other specimens. 2. A specimen (USNM) labeled “ Peru, Satipo, V-VI-1942, Paprzycki” has a similar color pattern to that of C. della except for the following differences: length 3.0 mm., pronotum bright yellow with small black macula at base anterior to scutellar shield, lateral 1/2 of elytron with reddish brown more pronounced than that in C. della (USNM). Another specimen (CPGG) labeled “ Peru, Loreto, Padre Cocha, 150 m., 17-III-2006, Leg. R. Westerduijn. Under Heliconia leaves.” Remarks. Cryptognatha della is recognized by elytra with a large, black, median macula, a character not shared with any presently known species of the genus. The USNM specimen listed as “other specimen” is tentatively regarded as the same species. It is larger with a yellow pronotum, but identical in most other respects including female spermathecal capsule. Another specimen with much different dorsal coloration is also considered this species because of a similar collection locality and identical female spermatheca. This specimen has a black pronotum with lateral 1/8 yellow, elytron entirely black except narrowly reddish brown along lateral margin.Published as part of F, Guillermo González, Hanley, Guy A. & Gordon, Robert D., 2019, South American Coccinellidae (Coleoptera), Part XIX: Overview of Cryptognathini and systematic revision of South American Cryptognatha Mulsant, pp. 1-32 in Insecta Mundi 714 (714) on page 20, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.367485
Estimating the Benefits of Agri-environmental Policy: Econometric Issues in Open-ended Contingent Valuation Studies
No full textThis paper reports on an open-ended Contingent Valuation Method study of the conservation benefits of Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) in Scotland. The ESA scheme is a central component of agri-environmental policy in the UK, and an interesting policy question concerns the extent of non-market benefits generated by such ESAs. The econometric issues we raise in this paper revolve around bid curves. Bid curves are estimated in open-ended Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) studies for three reasons. These are: (1) as a test of theoretical validity; (2) as a test of discriminant validity; and (3) as a means of benefits transfer. Within the first and last of these aims, the partial relationship between willingness to pay (WTP) and independent variables such as income is of interest. There are several econometric issues involved in estimating such relationships, First, the selection process implicit in obtaining positive WTP bids should be explicitly modelled. Second, many CVM surveys suffer from item non-response with respect to 'sensitive' questions such as the respondent's income; these non-responses may be non-random in nature. Finally, it is possible to dis-aggregate the effect of marginal changes in, say, income on WTP into two elements, namely: an effect on the probability that the individual will be willing to pay something; and secondly, an effect on how much they are willing to pay.
