The association of length of residency with attitudes toward publicly-provided community-wide services has long been documented in the literature outside of economics (Kelsy 1998; Spain 1993). Within economics _and despite the ubiquitous studies in the valuation literature that address preference heterogeneity as it relates to measures of socioeconomic status (e.g. age, gender, education and income) _ research that considers duration of residency as a potential source of preference heterogeneity

On the other hand, the exchange value, determined by the socially necessary labour time required for producing the commodity (306), establishes quantitative equivalences
