| Research Abstract |
Environmental expenditure-oriented valuation methods, e.g., averting expenditures model, for comprehensive evaluation have not been fully explored in valuation research fields compared with replacement cost method and stated preference methods. In these studies, drinking water quality in Japan and China, and actual urban and forest park use information were combined and/or compared with choice experiments of hypothetical scenarios. It was demonstrated that reciprocal and complementary use of environmental expenditure method and choice experiments enhance the reliability and validity of estimation results in terms of marginal willingness to pay and the goodness-of-fit.
