Why Give up Money for the Baltic Sea? – Motives for People's Willingness (or Reluctance) to Pay

Tore Söderqvist

Environmental & Resource Economics, 1998, vol. 12, issue 2, 249-254

Abstract: A contingent valuation survey about a reduction of the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea provided data about respondents' motives for their answers to the willingness to pay question. A categorization of the motives allowed an identification of protesters against the valuation scenario. The categorization also illustrated that a teleological ethical perspective is not shared by all respondents and that some respondents perceive human indirect use of ecosystems.
