Spatial Preference Heterogeneity: A Choice Experiment (2010, methodology): “The approach presented here differs, for example, also from conventional testing of distance-decay effects in stated preference research (e.g., Bateman et al. 2006), in that variation is introduced not only in the spatial distribution of respondents who benefit from the change in environmental good…”
Assessing water ecosystem services for water resource management (2016, background): “A number of studies have examined in particular how the distance decay relation differs between users and non-users of the ecosystem service (Hanley et al., 2003; Bateman et al., 2006).”
Using Choice Experiments to Explore the Spatial Distribution of Willingness to Pay for Rural Landscape Improvements (2009, background): “Although stated preference studies have been extended to investigate distance-decay effects (see, for example, Bateman et al, 2006b; Hanley et al, 2003; Pate and Loomis, 1997), the inherently spatial patterns of WTP are rarely clarified or addressed in stated preference studies (Bateman et al,…”
Making Benefit Transfers Work: Deriving and Testing Principles for Value Transfers for Similar and Dissimilar Sites Using a Case Study of the Non-Market Benefits of Water Quality Improvements Across Europe (2011, methodology): “Building upon empirical findings from a similar water valuation context (Bateman et al. 2006), a simple rule of thumb of a 30 km minimum radius of sampling area was applied in all countries.”
Ecosystem service value assessment for constructed wetlands: A case study in Hangzhou, China (2008, methodology): “Whether to aggregate or disaggregate the values across a political or economic jurisdiction may lead to an over or under estimation (Lambert, 2003; Bateman et al., 2006).”
Using Meta-Analysis and GIS for Value Transfer and Scaling Up: Valuing Climate Change Induced Losses of European Wetlands (2012, background): “Bateman et al. (2006) show that the identification of the constituency of beneficiaries over which WTP estimates are aggregated, and the adjustment of WTP estimates to reflect beneficiary characteristics, can lead to significant errors in resultant aggregate values.”
The Spatial Extent of Water Quality Benefits in Urban Housing Markets (2011, background): “Recent literature has explored benefit extent through distance-decay functions (Hanley, Schläpfer, and Spurgeon 2003; Bateman et al. 2006), the use of maps in surveys (Vajjhala, John, and Evans 2008), and referendum voting results (Deacon and Schläpfer 2010).”
Farmers' willingness to provide ecosystem services and effects of their spatial distribution (2013, background): “Values are often assumed to decrease by distance (Bateman et al., 2006; Cuncu, 2009; Hanley et al., 2003).”
Valuing biodiversity enhancement in New Zealand's planted forests: Socioeconomic and spatial determinants of willingness-to-pay (2014, background): “…CV studies have used distance-decay models and found that WTP is negatively associated with the distance of the individual from the environmental good in question (Bateman et al., 2000, 2006; Cameron, 2006; Hanley et al., 2003; Loomis, 1996; Mazur and Bennett, 2009; Sutherland and Walsh, 1985).”
Coastal and marine ecosystem services valuation for policy and management: Managed realignment case studies in England (2011, methodology): “Considering that distance decay values were revealed in the econometric analysis, in this study, an approach similar to the one used by Bateman et al. (2006) for the aggregation of theWTP is applied.”
METHODS, TRENDS AND CONTROVERSIES IN CONTEMPORARY BENEFIT TRANSFER (2009, unknown): “However, while not all environmental changes will be characterized by a continuous decay in associated non-market value over space, numerous studies demonstrate distance decay of total and use WTP associated with a variety of natural resource changes, suggesting that such patterns can represent an i”
Testing the Fundamental Assumption of Choice Experiments: Are Values Absolute or Relative? (2011, background): “distance decay across longer distances ( Bateman et al. 2006 ), is likely to be observed for natural”
Spatial preference heterogeneity in forest recreation (2013, background): “Spatial heterogeneity is reflected in the existence of distance decay functions in valuation studies (Bateman et al., 2006).”
Benefit relevant indicators: Ecosystem services measures that link ecological and social outcomes (2018, unknown): “economic literature is devoted to determining the “extent of the market” for ecological benefits (or where benefits occur); this literature details a variety of approaches (Bateman et al., 2006; Loomis, 2000; Loomis, 1996).”
Contemporary Guidance for Stated Preference Studies (2017, background): “Other work has specified the value estimate as a function of distance from the affected area (Hanley et al. 2003; Banzhaf et al. 2006; Bateman et al. 2006a; Schaafsma, Brouwer, and Rose 2012; Schaafsma et al. 2013), but such “distance decay” is not”
