    Valuing air quality impacts using stated choice analysis: Trading off visibility against morbidity effects
    (2014) Ignacio Rizzi, Luis; De La Maza, Cristobal; Abdon Cifuentes, Luis; Gomez, Jorge
    Direct valuation of air quality has as a drawback; that estimated willingness to pay figures cannot be apportioned to the several environmental goods affected by air quality, such as mortality and morbidity effects, visibility, outdoor recreation, among others. To address this issue, we implemented a survey in Santiago de Chile to identify component values of confounded environmental services by means of a choice experiment. We designed a survey where two environmental goods, a morbidity health endpoint and improved visibility, had to be jointly traded off against each other and against money in a unified framework.
