The Value of Avoiding a Lulu: Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites
通过调查波士顿郊区609户家庭，建立需求模型估算家庭对远离危险废物填埋场的支付意愿，发现每远离一英里每年可获330至495美元的消费者剩余。
This paper develops and estimates a demand model to describe a household's demand for distance from a landfill with hazardous wastes. This model provides one basis for gauging the intensity of a household's desire to avoid living near this type of facility. Using the conceptual framework of a hedonic property value model to provide the basis for demand for distance questions, a survey in suburban Boston elicited this information from 609 households. The demand estimates imply that the average household would realize a consumer surplus between $330 to $495 annually for each mile between its residence and a landfill containing hazardous waste.
