Using Surveys to Value Public Goods: The Contingent Valuation Method

by Mitchell, Robert Cameron

Economists and others have long believed that by balancing the costs of such public goods as air quality and wilderness areas against their benefits, informed policy choices can be made. But the problem of putting a dollar value on cleaner air or water and other goods not sold in the marketplace has been a major stumbling block. Mitchell and Carson argue that at this time the contingent valuation (CV) method offers the most promising approach for determining public willingness to pay for many public goods--an approach likely to succeed, if used carefully, where other methods may fail. First Published in 1989. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Consumerism, 4th Ed.
The new edition of this highly acclaimed anthology continues to provide the most comprehensive, rigorously balanced survey available of modern consumerism. Written by a wide range of experts, the 42 articles -- half of them new to this edition -- cover today's most important consumer and public policy issues: advertising and the disclosure of consumer information, selling practices, anti-trust issues and competition, product safety, liability, and consumer satisfaction. As in previous editions, the articles are arranged according to the steps in the purchase process. <br> New to this edition are detailed discussions of such current issues as the costs and benefits of government regulation, advertising to children, consumer information systems, and demarketing (encouraging consumers to use less of such products as tobacco and energy). The final section assesses the response of business and industry to consumer pressures.
