Valuing Oil Spill Prevention
by Richard T. Carson, Michael B. Conaway, W Michael Hanemann, Jon A. Krosnick, Robert C. Mitchell, and Stanley Presser
Published 13 October 2004
This book documents a contingent valuation study for a significant environmental good: preventing the likely injuries from oil spills on the coast of Central California. It functions as a 'how-to' guide by documenting design, administration, and analysis of such studies, to reduce the long lead time which characterizes most economic damage assessments. The book includes a CD-ROM containing a wealth of additional material: data, questionnaires, transcripts and more.
