"Use of Contingent Valuation to Value Environmental Improvements in a Transition Economy: Water Quality Improvement in Latvia," |
Agricultural University of Norway, Norway. |
1997 |
The purpose of this study is to estimate the benefit that Latvian residents would receive from a typical Program 800+ investment - in case an improvement in handling and treatment of sewage in a medium-sized town. Program 800+ is the implementation of an ambitious package of infrastructure investments in over 800 smaller and medium sized towns in Latvia. This is done by a case study in which two sections were discussed: (1) drinking water quality, and (2) sewage treatment and water quality in the Gauja River, and. A second goal of this study was to assess the performance of the CV method in this transition economy (Latvia). Function-Use: Municipal and Domestic Water Supply. |

"Economic Valuation of Some Wetland Outputs of Mud Lake, Minnesota, South Dakota," |
Agricultural Economics Report No. 381, Department of Agricultural Economics, North Dakota State University, USA. |
1997 |
The purpose of this study was to approximate some economic values of Mud Lake, a managed "wetland" on the border between Minnesota and South Dakota, to proveide information to promote more efficient and effective management of Mud Lake and its wetlands. This is done by evaluating some selected outputs: flood control, water supply, fish and wildlife habitat, recreation and aesthetics, and disamenities to water quality. The CVM was used to valuate fish and wildlife habitat, recreation, and aesthetics. Water quality was valued by estimating the extra costs of water treatment, floodcontrol by damages prevented, and water supply by estimating a residual return to public wear utilities. Function-Use: Recreation, Flooding. |

Open-ended payment card (these were used later): 1) WTP additional taxes: residents/visitors/general public: 27.52/19.47/36.65; 2) residents/visitors: 17.53/11.84. Using Simpson’s rule mean WTP: 138.37 per household (3.8 times > 36.65). The WTP values for all ESAs were apportioned out by people’s utility for the different ESAs. This procedure resulted in a WTP value of: 1.98 per household per year (South Downs) and 2.45 per household per year (Somerset Levels and Moors). |

Aggregate WTP to preserve today’s landscape is the number of visitors (plus residents) multiplied by their respective average WTP, multi-plied by the proportion of the relevant population who gave this landscape as their first preference choic. This provides an aggregate WTP measure of 41,762,560 pounds for visitors and 118,910 pounds for residents for today’s landscape. For conserved landscape the figures are: 40,134,080/73,663; planned: 5,308,560/8,280; abandoned: 2,470,000/2,164; sporting: 1,346,800/5,528; wild: 17,100,000/18,409. The net benefits from interventionist landscapes exceed non-interventionist ones by 66.5 million pounds per year. |

1976 through 1981. |
In dollars per unit. |
The estimates indicate that properties located outsite the bay sell for appr. $4,200 more than properties located adjacent to the bay. The average residential property located along the bay sells for appr. $4,500 less than similar properties outside the bay. When water quality at point 6 was improved to the level of water quality at point 8, the increase in value of properties located near point 6 would be appr. $3,600. |
