2.1 Contingent Valuation
Suppose you're tasked with estimating the Willingness to
Pay for shoreline erosion prevention in Far Rockaway
Queens via a Contingent Valuation survey. The survey
pool will be all addresses in the zip code for Far
Rockaway, including businesses (excluding government
offices).
NOTE: The purpose of shoreline erosion prevention is to
maintain the shorelines natural ability to handle tides,
whereas erosion increases the chances of flooding.
Other benefits of erosion prevention are habitat
conservation for flora and fauna.
NOTE: Erosion prevention often involves reducing both
foot and vehicle traffic, and regulating/preventing certain
forms of construction and demolition. Additionally, the
importation of beach sand from less impacted/impactful
areas to support areas with frequent erosion.
NOTE: The estimated cost of beach erosion across three
potential scenarios is: 1) $50 for 25% prevention. 2) $75
for 50% prevention. or 2) $100 for 75% prevention. 100%
prevention…
