Contingent valuation surveys were first proposed in theory by S.V. Ciriacy-Wantrup (1947) as a method for eliciting market valuation of a non-market good.The first practical application of the technique was in 1963 when Robert K. Davis used surveys to estimate the value hunters and tourists placed on a particular wilderness area.
According to the constructed preference view, consumer willingness to pay is a context-sensitive construct; that is, a consumer's WTP for a product depends on the concrete decision context. For example, consumers tend to be willing to pay more for a soft drink in a luxury hotel resort in comparison to a beach bar or a local retail store.
The embedding effect is an issue in environmental economics and other branches of economics where researchers wish to identify the value of a specific public good using a contingent valuation or willingness-to-pay (WTP) approach. The problem arises because public goods belong to society as a whole, and are generally not traded in the market.
Then the willingness to accept is defined by (+,) = (,). [3] That is, the willingness to accept payment in order to put up with the adverse change equates the pre-change utility (on the right side) with the post-change utility, including compensation. In contrast, the willingness to pay is defined by
This is where business valuation calculations, ideally handled by a third-party expert, can play a role. Business valuations are used for mergers, acquisitions, tax purposes, and more.
Contingent valuation is a stated preferences technique. [13] Contingent valuation estimates the value a person places on a good by asking him or her directly. [14] It is essentially surveys for individuals on how much they would be willing to pay for some intangible benefits or to avoid some intangible harms.
The Becker–DeGroot–Marschak method (BDM), named after Gordon M. Becker, Morris H. DeGroot and Jacob Marschak for the 1964 Behavioral Science paper, "Measuring Utility by a Single-Response Sequential Method" is an incentive-compatible procedure used in experimental economics to measure willingness to pay (WTP).
In corporate finance, Contingent Value Rights (CVR) are rights granted by an acquirer to a company’s shareholders, [1] facilitating the transaction where some uncertainty is inherent. CVRs may be separately tradeable securities ; [ 2 ] they are occasionally acquired (or shorted ) by specialized hedge funds .
