Ambient taxes when polluters have multiple choices

Article Abstract:

The use of ambient-based tax-subsidy scheme as a non-point pollution alternative is often limited by corporate choice set restrictions and infeasible design assumptions. In order to address such weaknesses, two novel tax subsidy models, based on the works of Segerson, have been developed. One of these paradigms centers on the imposition of linear ambient tax rates in settings where factors are state-dependent. However, the scheme was deemed efficient only when a firm is presented with less than three factors influencing the distribution of ambient conditions and marginal damages and effects equal to zero.

Elicitation effects in contingent valuation: comparisons to a multiple bounded discrete choice approach

Article Abstract:

The discrepancy of findings generated from various contingent valuation elicitation formats may be attributed to the differences in participant response. Such an issue may be efficiently addressed through the use of a multiple bounded contingent valuation technique, which outlines a discrete choice questioning format. The proposed approach further allows researchers to evaluate a series of mean willingness to pay (WTP) values in order to guarantee the consistency and accuracy of results.
