Designing Contingent Valuation Scenarios for Environmental Health: the Case of Childhood Asthma

Submitted by NENRE Concepcion on

Objectives: We use a contingent valuation (CV) study of childhood asthma to discuss a central issue in designing CV studies of chronic illness—the need for a detailed, realistic scenario that minimizes confounding factors—and show how to address this issue. We apply our methodology to estimate households’ willingness to pay (WTP) for reductions in asthma morbidity.
