Invasive Species and Delaying the Inevitable: Results from a Pilot Valuation Experiment
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 April 2015
Abstract
Herein we explore the economic value of delaying inevitable environmental damage due to aquatic invasive species, which is a problem especially relevant to tropic and subtropical regions. We developed an analytical framework and tested it using a stated preference survey. The results suggest that delaying the impacts can be valuable. Other tests reveal characteristics of the willingness-to-pay estimates that are consistent with economic theory.
