Contingent Valuation Survey

AbstractThis study demonstrates how contingent valuation techniques can be used in a cost-benefit analysis of a food safety policy issue. The analysis focuses on banning a specific postharvest pesticide used in fresh grapefruit packinghouses. Benefits of the ban are measured using consumers' aggregated willingness to pay (WTP) for safer grapefruit. A national contingent valuation survey used the payment card method to obtain WTP data. Costs of the ban stem predominantly from increased postharvest losses and were estimated using a model of the market for Florida grapefruit. Results indicate that benefits of the ban outweigh costs.

Environmental Burdens

The results of this research are promising and suggest that contingent valuation is a practical way to make rough estimations of the benefits accrued from environmental policies, for reducing the risks of past environmental burdens, and for making comparisons with costs within a cost-benefit analysis. Contingent valuation provided a means of quantifying consumer preferences and values. However, an important constraint in this research is that the method (word pictures) used to present risks was quite general and lacked the specificity that would be useful to employ in future studies. A more detailed formulation would result in a more precise pricing of risks. This research examined three general categories of risk and then explored the specific case of a battery deposit-refund system. This research suggests that in the specific situation of used batteries, the benefits from reduction of risks are higher than the costs associated with introducing a deposit-refund system as perceived by households.
