“…A seminal paper by Menegaki et al [11] compiled a checklist from studies conducted around the world; the authors recommend that it should be reported when the stated preference valuation method is used. Although the checklist is for a web-based survey, it can also be applied for personal interviews.…”

Municipal solid waste management is a growing problem in urban areas of Nepal where municipalities are severely constrained by budget to manage it effectively. Collecting fees from the public can aid finance for improving waste management service. This study evaluates willingness to pay (WTP) by 401 households, selected using a stratified sampling method from all 15 wards of Gorkha municipality of Nepal for improved waste collection service and the factors influencing it. We employed a contingent valuation method to elicit households' WTP, logit regression model to determine factors influencing WTP and tobit regression model to determine factors influencing the maximum amount households are willing to pay for improved waste collection service. Majority of households (61%) are willing to pay an average amount of NRs. 73.38 (0.72 US$) per month. Factors that significantly influence households' WTP are monthly household income, education of household head, environmental awareness and waste collection service. Except for education of household head, all these factors significantly influence the maximum amount of money households are willing to pay. Concerned stakeholders and policy makers should consider these traits of households before enforcing a waste collection fee.

“…Unfortunately, there is a dearth of information on design strategies for optimizing participation rates in web surveys of establishments. One of the most important design decisions affecting the response rate is the choice of contact mode used to deliver the web survey invitation and any subsequent reminders (Millar & Dillman, 2011; Menegaki, Olsen, & Tsagarakis, 2016). E-mail and paper are the most commonly used contact modes for delivering web survey invitations and reminders.…”

Identifying strategies that maximize participation rates in population-based web surveys is of critical interest to survey researchers. While much of this interest has focused on surveys of persons and households, there is a growing interest in surveys of establishments. However, there is a lack of experimental evidence on strategies for optimizing participation rates in web surveys of establishments. To address this research gap, we conducted a contact mode experiment in which establishments selected to participate in a web survey were randomized to receive the survey invitation with login details and subsequent reminder using a fully crossed sequence of paper and e-mail contacts. We find that a paper invitation followed by a paper reminder achieves the highest response rate and smallest aggregate nonresponse bias across all-possible paper/e-mail contact sequences, but a close runner-up was the e-mail invitation and paper reminder sequence which achieved a similarly high response rate and low aggregate nonresponse bias at about half the per-respondent cost. Following up undeliverable e-mail invitations with supplementary paper contacts yielded further reductions in nonresponse bias and costs. Finally, for establishments without an available e-mail address, we show that enclosing an e-mail address request form with a prenotification letter is not effective from a response rate, nonresponse bias, and cost perspective.

“…For example, the emissions of air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulate matters, human health effects, such as mortality and morbidity, agriculture production, material damages, and so on can be further considered. CE technique is a good candidate for dealing with the issue because CE is quite useful in valuing a multi-dimensional or multi-attribute goods [30,31]. Although the CV approach that is adopted in this study provides information about the value arising from just a specified change, the CE approach can supply information about the value arising from a variety of changes.…”

South Korean Household’s Willingness to Pay for Replacing Coal with Natural Gas? A View from CO2 Emissions Reduction

2017

Abstract:Coal is currently a major electric power generation source in South Korea when considering that forty-three percent of electricity that was generated during the first quarter of 2017 came from coal. The amount of CO 2 emissions from coal-fired power plant is two times larger than that from natural gas (NG)-fired power plant in the country. In this regard, the Korean government is trying to replace some amount of coal that is used for generation with NG to reduce CO 2 emissions. However, the cost of NG-fired generation is about 1.25 times higher than that of coal-fired generation. Thus, the policy-makers demand information about the household willingness to pay (WTP) for the replacement to mitigate CO 2 emissions. This paper applies the contingent valuation (CV) approach, and assesses the household's WTP for replacing one kWh of coal-fired power with that of NG-fired power. For this purpose, a total of 1000 South Korean households were involved in the CV survey employing a dichotomous choice question. In addition to the current electricity price, KRW 121.52 (USD 0.11) per kWh, the respondents were willing to pay KRW 25.35 (USD 0.02) per kWh. The costs of NG-fired and coal-fired generation are KRW 100.13 and 78.05, respectively, per kWh. The difference between the two is KRW 22.08 per kWh, which is smaller than the mean additional WTP (KRW 25.35 per kWh). The household's additional WTP is bigger than the actual additional cost. It is concluded that the switch of power generation source from coal to NG to reduce CO 2 emissions can be supported by South Korean households.
