“…The restoration of various coastal wetland attributes for the proposed modest, moderate and ambitious improvement scenarios, generated lower-boundary compensating surpluses ranging between 1410 and 2236 INR, which correspond to, respectively, $71 and $112 (international dollars, 2018) using the most recent PPP conversion factors for private consumption from the World Development Indicators (World Bank, 2020). While there are no studies from Kerala with which to compare, the WTP for water quality improvements is in the range of other recent and similar studies (Dias and Belcher, 2015;Tan et al, 2018). Dias and Belcher (2015), for instance, found a value of $91 (international dollars, 2018) as a one-time payment per household for water quality improvement in Canadian prairie wetlands.…”

“…Choice experiments were originally used in communication and transport research [ 20 , 24 , 25 ]. Subsequently, they were adopted in other research areas such as environmental assessment [ 26 , 27 ], market research [ 28 , 29 , 30 ], plant and animal improvement programs [ 31 , 32 , 33 ], environmental and consumer studies [ 34 , 35 ] and, recently, in agricultural value chain research [ 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Choice experiments are based on Lancaster’s consumer behavior theory and McFadden’s random utility theory [ 39 , 40 ].…”

Background: According to Mexican growers of ‘Jalapeño’ peppers, its commercialization is the primary limitation. Thus, consumer knowledge is critical to develop added-value strategies. The objective of this study was to identify ‘Jalapeño’ quality attributes to determine consumer preferences and willingness to pay, based on socioeconomic characteristics. Methods: A nationwide face-to-face survey was carried out using the discrete choice experiment method. The survey included 1200 consumers stratified by gender, age and region. Results: Heterogeneity analysis using the probabilistic segmentation model revealed three types of consumers: A price-sensitive segment, non-demanding consumers without specific preferences and selective consumers with a preference shifted toward specific ‘Jalapeño’ characteristics. Thus, detail-oriented producers must compete through price strategies, based on the marketplace (markets on wheels, grocery stores, or supermarkets) and through some quality attributes preferred by selective consumers. Therefore, results suggest that farmers should grow the correct varieties with appropriate agronomic management to cope consumer preferences. Conclusions: This paper contributes to the growing body of the ‘Jalapeño’ literature by explicitly investigating consumer preferences and willingness to pay for them.

“…The third part includes basic information about the individuals, including gender, age, education background, monthly personal income, and preference for ecosystem conservation, among other questions. The connotations of the attributes are explained as follows: The coastal wetland is a highly productive ecosystem [37][38][39]; hence, excessive exploitation of the coastal ecosystems has drawn many scholars' concern over recent years [33,[40][41][42]. Biodiversity reflects the range and diversity of animals and plants in the wetland and is often used as an indicator for assessing coastal ecosystems [33,35,38].…”

To achieve the 2025 Non-Nuclear Homeland goal and carbon emission mitigation target, the Taiwan government has been developing actively green and renewable energy with low carbon emissions. This study assessed the FSPS development project in the Cigu region of Tainan City to provide a thorough analysis toward making tradeoffs among ecosystem conservation, aquaculture, fisheries, and green power generation development. This study employs the choice experiment method and designs different attributes and levels to discuss the preferences of stakeholders in the policy development choices for ecosystem conservation and FSPS. The hope is that it can balance economic development and ecological conservation. The findings demonstrate that the tourists’ marginal willingness to pay is low. The respondents then give importance to improving biodiversity. Finally, they prefer minimal changes to the status quo with the FSPS policy implementation. These findings can serve as a reference for decision making for regional sustainable development, aquaculture and fishery upgradation, and green power generation and exploitation.
