  • Note: Estimation includes 2,160 observed choice outcomes from 281 survey respondents. Standard errors in parentheses. AOC, Area of Concern; MWTP, marginal willingness to pay; RP, revealed preference; SP, stated preference.

  • a All dollar-denominated variables are measured in $10,000 increments at 2003 levels.

  • b Computed using sample weights as values for the north dummy variable.
