Economic Valuation of Environmental Damages due to the Prestige Oil Spill in Spain (2009, methodology): “As Carson et al. (2003) did, we also avoided the inclusion of pictures of oiled species to avoid extreme psychological reactions, following a conservative valuation approach.”
Reducing gain-loss asymmetry: A virtual reality choice experiment valuing land use change (2009, methodology): “Certainly many applications of the contingent valuation (CV) method rely heavily upon visual stimuli to convey the single valuation scenario they are concerned with (see for example, Carson et al., 2003).”
Valuing Public Goods: The Life Satisfaction Approach (2004, unknown): “They estimate utility losses due to the Exxon Valdez oil spill like Carson et al. (2003), who use contingent valuation surveys.”
The discrete choice experiment approach to environmental contingent valuation (2014, background): “The CV study done for the damage assessment for the Exxon Valdez oil spill (Carson, et al., 1992; 2003) quickly defined the state of the art.”
An Intellectual History of Environmental Economics (2002, background): “A contingent valuation study by Carson & colleagues (66) focused on the nonuse values of the general public and found that total damages, as measured by willingness to pay to avoid an accident, ranged from $2.”
Humans and Nature: How Knowing and Experiencing Nature Affect Well-Being (2013, background): “Anecdotal evidence about the mental health benefits of knowing that nature exists are frequently acknowledged (53, 54), yet empirical evidence of this connection is poorly documented.”
Combining Revealed and Stated Preference Data to Estimate the Nonmarket Value of Ecological Services: An Assessment of the State of the Science (2008, unknown): “In the midst of the heated debate sparked by the Exxon Valdez oil spill over the contingent valuation of nonuse values (Carson et al., 2003; Portney, 1994), Cameron (1992) and Adamowicz, Louviere and Williams (1994) introduced an exciting new approach to the environmental valuation literature – the…”
Calculating Tragedy: Assessing the Costs of Terrorism (2004, unknown): “15 See Carson et al. (2003) for an elaborate and state-of-the-art contingent valuation study in the environmental realm.”
Design of Stated Preference Surveys: Is There More to Learn from Behavioral Economics? (2010, background): “Communicating public goods and risks with visual aids is of course nothing new (see, e.g., Carson et al. 2003; Corso et al. 2002), but virtual reality provides the respondent with much more freedom to explore different scenarios and to understand what would actually happen and how it would look…”
The Life Satisfaction Approach to Environmental Valuation (2010, methodology): “Stated preference methods such as the contingent valuation method (CVM) and revealed preference methods such as the hedonic method (HM) have been widely used in practice, both in the regulatory process and in litigation (Palmquist and Smith 2002; Carson et al. 2003).”
Valuing flood disasters using the life satisfaction approach (2009, background): “In a contingent valuation survey, respondents are asked to value a specific public good (for a recent application, see e.g. Carson et al. 2003).”
