Estrategias para el fortalecimiento y fiabilidad del método de valoración contingente, análisis de la encuesta como herramienta de recolección de información

Abstract

The main information collection tool that is implemented in the contingent valuation is the traditional survey, which is subject to various criticisms for biases and errors that may interfere with the calculation of the respondents' availability to pay (WTP). This document compiles the main criticisms of the contingent valuation method (CVM) to know the main errors of the application of the method and describes some of the main solutions to them, in addition to mentioning some of the new empirical tools for collecting information from respondents that increase the reliability and certainty of the contingent valuation in non-use values.
