“…CV critics often argue that insensitivity to scope results from what they term "warm-glow", by which they mean getting moral satisfaction from the act of paying for the good inde-pendent of the characteristics of the actual environmental good. There have now been a considerable number of tests of the scope insensitivity hypothesis, and a review of the empirical evidence suggests that the hypothesis is rejected in a large majority of the tests performed (Carson 1997). Thus, most CV studies seem to pass this test.…”

“…However, the technique did not become widely used until the mid 1970s. By 1995, Carson (1997 had identified more than 2000 CVM studies.

The primary objective of this study was to estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) for a new intervention at the workplace: wholesome canteen takeaways (CTA), i.e. a low fat meal with a large amount of vegetables prepared at the workplace canteen that only requires re-heating. The contingent valuation method was used to elicit the WTP. Two surveys were carried out in Denmark; one large-scale Internet based survey and one survey at a workplace that introduced CTA. The results from the large-scale survey suggest that this concept attracts relevant target groups; groups of individuals with a less healthy diet, low physical activity and a high body mass index. For males and individuals with low education, who also constitute relevant target groups, the results suggest no significant difference in WTP between males and females, whereas low educated individuals have a significantly lower WTP than highly educated individuals. However, the workplace study, carried out at a hospital, found that females have a significantly higher WTP for CTA compared with males. In conclusion, the concept appears to attract relevant target groups, although for a given price a smaller fraction of low educated individuals compared to high educated individuals would be willing to buy CTA.

“…El WTAC (willingness to accept compensation o "disposición a aceptar compensación") es la mínima cantidad de dinero que se está dispuesto a pagar para renunciar a un bien. El método más común de calcular el WTP o el WTAC de la población a través de encuestas, es el método contingente de valoración (CVM), utilizado en la toma de decisiones del Servicio de pesca y vida salvaje de Estados Unidos, en alegaciones a tribunales por daños ambientales, en agencias gubernamentales europeas (como Reino Unido, Noruega o Dinamarca), y, en general, en estudios sobre gestión del medio en todo el mundo (Carson, 1997).…”
