| Abstract: | Allocation of public money in New Zealand is increasingly requiring justification on efficiency grounds. A limited budget for control of the introduced possum forces difficult choices to be made about where to control possums. Such choices have traditionally been made on "scientific" criteria, which may not meet efficiency requirements. Willingness to pay for possum control at a specific location is evaluated using dichotomous choice contingent valuation applied by way of a postal survey. |
