Applying the Contingency Evaluation Method to Urban Waste
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2003.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Based on users’ assessment of the value they ascribe to a non marketable good, such as an environmental good, using a hypothetical scenario of damage or improvement, the contingency evaluation method provides economists with cost assessments that they can model according to technical, social or economic criteria. Using an example taken from a study conducted by the author on improving the public service of urban waste disposal in order to preserve the environment, this paper proposes moving away from the economic aim of the method, to build geographical, i.e. spatialised, indices that can be compared with other geographical criteria.
