Abstract: This paper describes the first use of a methodology based on a utility-theoretic behavioral model to simultaneously estimate a household's WTP for a non-market good in both money and a non-monetary numeraire good. WTP by subsistence farmers in Namibia for deterrents to wildlife attacks on crops and livestock is estimated.
