Abstract: It has recently been argued that including altruistic components in cost-benefit analysis creates “double counting” and that, therefore, using contingent valuation leads to wrong results whenever altruistic preferences exist. This article examines the validity of this argument of several kinds of altruism. It is shown that only for very special cases of altruism problems can arise with respect to contingent valuation studies.
