Non-use value of improving water quality and biodiversity

The aim of the research project is to assess the value placed on actions taken by the water agency in the region in order to protect water resources and biodiversity. This kind of survey makes it possible to estimate the value that people place on public policies. These files describe survey data collected from June 2021 to July 2021, targeting the French population. 1365 answers to questionnaires are available in the original database, before treatment on Stata. They include socio-economic characteristics, a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) and follow-up questions. The modifications are detailed in the files Stata_file_Survey_nonuse_values_chap2 and Stata_file_2_Survey_nonuse_values_chap2. The data are used in a paper submitted to the Revue d'Economie Politique: Amiri, T., Abildtrup, J., Garcia, S. The non-use value of improving water quality and biodiversity: Preferences for watershed protection measures.
