Willingness to Pay Per Capita Costs as a Measure of Support for Urban Services
研究通过询问市民是否愿意支付人均成本来评估他们对城市服务的偏好，测试了成本呈现方式对支持度、项目排序及不同人群反应的影响。
Citizen evaluation of municipal services is an important development in urban policymaking.' In this paper we use a measure of willingness to pay per capita costs to determine citizen preferences. Specifically we test (1) whether people are less willing to support government programs when they are asked to pay the per capita share of the cost, (2) whether the relative ordering of different programs changes when willingness to pay is asked, and (3) whether such questions affect the assessment of some kinds of people differently from others.
