This manual offers a detailed, up-to-date explanation of how to
carry out economic valuation using stated preference techniques. It
is relevant for the application of these techniques to all
non-market goods and services including air and water quality;
provision of public open space; health care that is not sold
through private markets; risk reduction policies and investments
not provided privately; provision of information as with the
recorded heritage, the protection of cultural assets and so on. The
resulting valuations can be used for a number of purposes
including, but not limited to, demonstrating the importance of a
good or service; cost-benefit analysis; setting priorities for
environmental policy; design of economic instruments; green
national/corporate accounting, and natural resource damage
assessment. Compiled by the leading experts in the field, this
manual starts by explaining the concepts. It shows how to choose
the most appropriate technique and how to design the
questionnaires. Detailed advice on econometric analysis is
provided, as well as explanation of the pitfalls that need to be
avoided.

In response to Executive Order S-3-05, an evaluation of the
implications to California of possible climate changes was
undertaken using a scenario-based approach. The "Scenarios Project"
investigated projected impacts of climate change on six sectors in
the California region. The investigation considered the early,
middle and later portions of the twenty-first century, guided by a
set of IPCC Fourth Assessment global climate model runs forced by
higher and lower greenhouse gas emission scenarios. Each of these
climate simulations produce substantial impacts in California that
would require adaptations from present practices or status. The
most severe impacts could be avoided, however, if emissions can be
held near the lower end of global greenhouse gas emissions
scenarios. Reprinted from Climatic Change, Vol. 109: Supplement 1

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.
This volume describes what is arguably the first and only valuation
study to meet in full the reference study standards set by NOAA's
Blue Ribbon Panel on Contingent Valuation. This book documents a
contingent valuation study for a generic environmental good:
preventing the likely injuries from oil spills on the coast of
Central California. It provides a wealth of materials which will
reduce the long lead time which characterizes most economic damage
assessments. This is achieved by so richly documenting the design,
administration, and analysis of such studies as to be effectively a
'how-to' guide for undertaking state-of-the-art contingent
valuation studies. The book is supported by a CD-ROM containing a
wealth of additional material, including data, questionnaires, and
transcripts. Together, they constitute a unique and vital
contribution to the literature concerning the valuation of
non-market preferences.

the twenty-first century, guided by a set of IPCC Fourth Assessment
