Failed FAC
[edit]Self nomination. I'm kinda new to Wiki so I'm not sure if it's suitable or if it is a too specific topic. It's fairly comprehensive, based on a research essay I did on the subject. (User:Psychobabble)
- Object. Not bad, but I think this needs work to get featured. 1) I find the article a bit difficult to understand if you don't already have an idea what it is about. A little more context is needed. 2) I would like to see an example of contingent valuation. How is it done? This is hardly discussed and can be made up only partially from other sections. 3) The article is a US-centric. All of the examples, history etc. refer to the US - save one mention of Australia. Is this technique also used outside of the US? If not, it should be explained this is a US-thing only (and why), if so, this should be discussed. 4) There are no images. I agree that direct pictures may be impossible, but some of the linked articles (Exxon Valdez, NOAA) have images that could be used. 5) The article is quite short as it is. All sections could use some expansion. There's a lot more to tell about the history ("Use of the technuique has spread from there.") and controversies, I think. 6) Finally, there are some small issues that are not conform the Manual of Style, but those are really minor things.

- object. i'm pleased to see this article written, and it's a good start. however, it has a long way to go before featured status. i'd be willing to help out sometime in the next couple months, as i teach a course in non-market valuation. but, it's just not there yet. john whitehead's 'primer for practioners' would be worth looking at to guide a lengthier presentation at wikipedia level.

This is another reader. The article talks all around its subject, but it doesn't seem to define what contingent valuation IS -- i.e., how such a study would be conducted. What is the theory behind it, and the practice?
Math+CVM
[edit]Hello,
I was wondering if there are journals/textbooks available which can help my understanding of math involved in CVM, particularly of Choice Modelling/Paired Comparison Surveys.
Any help in this matter will be appreciated. Thanks
An explanation of the contingent valuation method is missing.... I think this is central. There should be an theoretical explanation and some examples at the beginning!
Maby I can come up with it later, but my english is not perfekt at all...
Meaning of the term "contingent..."?
[edit]At least for a non-English speaker, the term "contingent valuation" is obscure and far from self-evident, because the word "contingent" has several entirely different meanings. The word can be used as an adjective or as a noun. Thus, please clarify which particular meaning of the word "contingent" is referred to in the term "contingent valuation". Thank you! --Typofier 17:43, 10 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Typofier (talk • contribs)

The article does not summarize the state-of-the-art of contingent valuation well, in my opinion. For a recent overview see: Carson, R. T., and Czajkowski, M., 2014. The Discrete Choice Experiment Approach to Environmental Contingent Valuation. In: Handbook of choice modelling, S. Hess and A. Daly, eds., Edward Elgar, Northampton, MA.
Or a series of articles in the Journal of Economic Perspectives:

Dr. Drichoutis's comment on this article
[edit]Dr. Drichoutis has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
The wikipedia article needs to be expanded in two directions. First a discussion about hypothetical bias and the recent academic debate in the Journal of Economic Perspectives (Kling et al., 2012; Carson, 2012; Hausman, 2012; but also Haab et al., 2013).
Second, there could be a section about elicitation format used for eliciting valuations. The article contains a brief reference to the referendum format (which theoretically is the only incentive compatible format) but there are various other formats being used in the literature. Drichoutis et al. (2016) discuss the theoretical appeal of the referendum format and how all formats can be seen as generalizations of the referendum format.
The discussion on hypothetical bias and the referendum format could be tied with some discussion on the consequentiality literature which has been expanding fast (Czajkowski et al. 2015; Drichoutis et al., 2015; Rheinberger and Schläpfer, 2015; Vossler et al., 2012; Vossler and Watson, 2013).
