“…Data were grouped into ordinal scale intervals and used as independent variables: age ( (Franco & Luiselli, 2013). In fact, we expect that these characteristics help to represent the nature and the strength of the motivations that hold up a stated preference (Ajzen 1991;Ryana and Spash, 2011;Spash et al, 2009). …”

HighlightsWe analyze citizens' shared ecological knowledge (SEK) of wetlands functions to describe its nature, its relation with the official knowledge, the relation between the motivations outlined by SEK and those expected by the standard economic model. Wetlands functions' SEK is related to wetlands living proximity and unexpectedly diminishing for some long since acquired critical services There is a separation between official knowledge and SEK on crucial aspects like wetlands' climate change role. This approach helps to transfer a socio-cultural complex capital into a public decision making processes. AbstractThe estimation of wetlands' non-use values to build up a total economic evaluation can be based on stated preference methods, which derives from the standard economic model that assumes a rational assessment of the consequence of preferences on personal utility. The paper describes the citizens' shared ecological knowledge (SEK) of wetlands functions. It descibes SEK nature, SEK relation with the official knowledge, the relation between the motivations outlined by SEK and those expected by the standard economic model. The

“…People may donate for a good cause without the amount representing the value of an object the cause supports (Ryan and Spash, 2011;Spash, 2000b). Otherwise, being willing to pay for famine relief would be equivalent to placing a value on starving people.…”

“…Individuals are known to respond differently to choice tasks when asked to play different roles (Dolan and Green, 1998) and it remains unclear whether the method actually elicits true monetary valuations or more generalised representations of psychological dispositions (Ryan and Spash, 2011). In defence of the construct validity of our results, the directions of the influences of income, perceived risks, worries and cancer experience accord with economic intuition.…”

Purpose: We report the findings of a contingent valuation survey of health care services, designed to illuminate self-interest and benevolence on the part of one sex for the other. Design/methodology/approach: In a constructed scenario, men and women recorded how much they would be willing to contribute to each of three different types of cancer screening, one of which would be available only to members of the opposite sex. Findings: Over two-thirds of individuals, amongst whom men were more heavily represented, chose an identical contingent valuation for all three services. Amongst those who nominated dissimilar values, a willingness to contribute to own-sex screening coupled with an unwillingness to contribute to opposite-sex screening was more common amongst women than amongst men. Both sexes valued own-sex screening more highly than opposite-sex screening yet, compared with men, women were prepared to offer proportionately less for the latter relative to the former. In an associated person trade-off task, women were considerably less likely than men to choose opposite-sex screening at the expense of a type from which they could benefit personally. Originality/value: To date, very little research has been undertaken on differential responses to health valuation of care provision by sex. The results suggest a degree of asymmetry between the sexes, with respect to self-interest and benevolence
