| Abstract: | CV studies rarely ask willingness to accept (WTA) questions, yet there are a range of environmental projects where there are likely to be potential losers as well as gainers. This paper presents evidence from six biodiversity projects that the inclusion of contingent compensation payments from those respondents who preferred the status quo can substantially reduce net project benefits, even when the proportion of losers is relatively small. |
