Abstract

Abstract This study offers a Choice Experiment (CE) analysis of geographical scope effects. About 500 stated preference surveys were conducted to estimate willingness-to-pay (WTP) for nature protection in the Netherlands and the Caribbean Netherlands which became part of the Netherlands’ constitution just before the survey, providing a unique policy setting. Two version of the CE were implemented with a narrow or a broader geographical scope. Estimation of error correction mixed logit models resulted in the following main insights. First, the hypothesis of scope invariance is rejected since expanding the geographical scope influenced WTP values for nature protection. As an illustration, policies of preventing a degradation of nature have an average WTP of about €20 in the experiment with the smaller geographical scope, while this WTP is not significantly different from zero in the experiment with the more extensive scope. Second, evidence of scope sensitivity of WTP to the levels of nature protection is mixed, and depends on the geographical scope of the CE. We find a sizable WTP for protection of nature in Caribbean Netherlands among citizens of the mainland of the Netherlands, which supports the observed sizable funding of the Dutch government for nature management in the Caribbean Netherlands.
地理范围和自然保护的支付意愿
摘要本研究采用选择实验(CE)方法分析地理范围效应。在荷兰和加勒比荷兰,进行了大约500项声明偏好调查,以估计自然保护的支付意愿(WTP),加勒比荷兰在调查之前成为荷兰宪法的一部分,提供了一个独特的政策设置。行政长官有两个版本,其地域范围分别较窄或较宽。估计误差校正混合logit模型导致以下主要见解。首先,由于扩大地理范围会影响自然保护的WTP值,因此拒绝了范围不变性假设。例如,在较小地理范围的实验中,防止自然退化的政策的平均WTP约为20欧元,而在更广泛范围的实验中,这一WTP与零没有显著差异。其次,WTP对自然保护水平的范围敏感性的证据是混合的,并且取决于CE的地理范围。我们在荷兰大陆的公民中发现了相当大的WTP用于保护荷兰加勒比地区的自然,这支持了荷兰政府为荷兰加勒比地区的自然管理提供的可观资金。

期刊介绍: Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences (JIES) provides a stimulating, informative and critical forum for intellectual debate on significant environmental issues. It brings together perspectives from a wide range of disciplines and methodologies in both the social and natural sciences in an effort to develop integrative knowledge about the processes responsible for environmental change. The Journal is especially concerned with the relationships between science, society and policy and one of its key aims is to advance understanding of the theory and practice of sustainable development.
