기후변화에 대비한 지속가능한 물 관리를 위해 첨단 ICT를 물 관리에 접목한 스마트워터그리드(Smart Water Grid)가 미래 사회의 새로운 패러다임으로 제기되고 있다. 스마트워터그리드를 활용한 안정적인 물공급을 위해서는 다양한 수자원 확보가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 스마트워터그리드의 편익을 산정하기 위하여 조건부가치평가법을 이용하여 스마트워터그리드 사업을 추진하는데 소요되는 비용과 이를 통하여 생기게 될 경제적 상황을 설명하면서 응답자들에게 기꺼이 추가적으로 지불하고자 하는 금액에 대해 질문하였다. 조사로부터 얻은 정보를 활용하여 과학적인 통계적 분석을 수행함으로써 평균 지불의사를 추정하고 이를 스마트워터그리드 편익으로 산정하였다. 추정결과 2014년 10월 기준으로 스마트워터그리드에 대한 추가지불의사액은 3,514원(원/가구/년)이고 2013년 12월 기준 불변가격으로 환산하면 3,221원(원/가구/년)으로 추정되었다. 2013년 12월 불변가격 기준 스마트워터그리드의 연간 편익은 59,452백만원으로 추정되었다.

제 3차 국가에너지기본계획이 시행됨에 따라 전체 에너지 공급량 중 신재생에너지가 차지하는 비율은 점차 늘어날 전망이다. 이와 관련하여 2012년부터 RPS 시행이 확정되었다. RPS(신재생에너지 의무비율할당제)는 신재생에너지에 의한 발전 비율을 설정함으로써 공급을 늘리는 긍정적인 측면이 있으나 이와 동시에 전기요금 인상을 수반한다. 요금 인상으로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 소비자의 반감을 완화시키고 전기요금에 대한 현실적인 합의점을 찾으려면 소비자가 재생에너지 전력에 대하여 어느 정도의 지불의사를 가지고 있는지에 대한 연구가 선행적으로 진행되어야 한다. 한편 RPS의 도입은 신재생에너지 원간 가격경쟁을 촉진시키게 된다. 이 과정에서 성장잠재력이 높은 에너지원이라 하더라도 현재의 발전단가가 높다면 잠재력을 발휘하기 전에 도태될 가능성이 있다. 이러한 RPS 도입의 영향에 대처할 수 있는 정책수립의 기초자료를 마련하기 위해, 재생에너지 전력에 대한 소비자 측면의 효용이 원별로 분석될 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 조건부 가치평가법(Contingent Valuation)을 적용하여 수력, 풍력, 태양광으로 발전된 재생에너지 전력에 대한 지불의사액(Willingness to Pay)을 추정하였다. 단일 설문지 내에서 여러 에너지원에 대한 지불의사액을 순차적으로 물어보게 될 경우, 질문순서가 지불의사액 추정에 편의를 가져오는 순서효과(Sequence Effect)가 발생할 수 있다(Boyle et al.,1993). 이러한 순서효과를 제거하기 위해서 유형에 따라 질문순서를 다르게 하여 각 에너지원에 대한 지불의사액을 묻는 방향으로 설문을 설계하였다. 분석결과 수력, 풍력, 태양광으로 발전한 전력에 대한 지불의사액 간에는 유의한 차이 가 나타나지 않았으며, 순서효과로 인한 편의 또한 지불의사액에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 관측되었다.

This study analyzes ways to detect protest responses (hereafter, PR zero-bid) in the contingent valuation method (CVM). In order to distinguish PR zero-bids from true zero-bids (non-PR zero bids), this study adopts the concept of the implicit willingness to pay employing the Hicksian compensating surplus and the Taylor's 1st order approximation. When a respondent proposes a zero-bid (i.e., WTP=0) and chooses a PR filtering item to indicate that her implicit WTP is not necessary zero, her response is identified as a PR zero bid. PR filtering items falling into the PR zero bids category include the uncertainty of information, distrust in the government and project achievement, disagreement to project plans, discontent with the fairness of public works and their payment method and animosity against the CVM itself. The empirical analysis shows that PR zero bids take place systematically in particular respondent groups: respondents who have never used similar facilities before nor plans to use the facility provided by the public project, the employed, and low income groups. In conclusion, the study suggests that a CVM questionnaire needs to be designed carefully to minimize problems associated with PR zero bids and the potential risks of having sample selection bias should be concerned.

In this paper, we apply fuzzy theory in a discrete choice Contingent Valuation Method(CVM) in order for dealing preference uncertainty problem. Fuzzy membership function is used in an empirical analysis to estimate the willingness-to-pay(WTP) for the preservation of the endangered Asiatic Black Bear in Korea. The estimated WTP was about 9,090 Korea Won per household with 78 percent of confidence level. The advantage of applying fuzzy theory in the valuation method could be found in its ability to measure the confidence level of the estimated WTP.

This paper proposes a new answering mechanism called RAM (Risk Answering Mechanism) which can be applied to a contingent valuation method. The RAM is derived from the theory of expected utility maximization under the assumption that there exists an uncertainty in a nonmarket good of interest. In RAM, a respondent would accept an uncertain offer only if his or her WTP for the mean of the offer is large enough to exceed the bidding price by more than a risk premium. This is in a striking contrast with a traditional answering mechanism (TAM) in which the WTP is simply compared with the bidding price. Therefore, the TAM would underestimate the WTP by a risk premium without considering the uncertainty a respondent may face. An empirical comparison is made between RAM and TAM using a survey data on the Tong river. It is found that underestimation problem is very serious in the TAM.

This study analyzes the economic effect of rehabilitation and upgrading of reservoirs as a prevented method against natural disasters under recent abnormal weather conditions and dam-break. For the analysis, we divide the purpose of rehabilitation and upgrading of reservoirs into the stable supply of rural water under uncertain weather conditions and the prevention of collapse due to the aging of the reservoir. We measure the economic effect of rehabilitation and upgrading of reservoirs by estimating the resident's willingness-to-pay for the project through Contingent Valuation Method(CVM). The result shows that distributions of willingness-to-pay to prevent natural disasters and dam-break are similar to each other. About 66% of the residents in sample regions are willing to pay for the project. The resident's willingness-to-pay to protect natural disasters and dam-break are 32,250 to 46,147 won and 28,427 to 47,308 won respectively on average for all sample regions. The comparison of willingness-to-pay by type of regions shows that paddy field areas are the highest followed by facility cultivation areas and urban areas. In addition, total expected value of the projects calculated based on the resident's willingness-to-pay for paddy field areas and facility cultivation areas are much larger than actual project costs. This implies that rural residents are fully aware of the importance of the project to prevent natural disasters and dam-break and are willing to pay for additional costs if needed.

This study is intended to check economic value of and factors influencing children's library. To this end, data on a total of 614 questionnaires to which parents among users of 6 children's libraries responded were collected. The results of analysis by contingent valuation method after selecting library fee per person as payment vehicle were as follows. First, willingness to pay was estimated to be a monthly average of KRW 9,243 per person. Second, it was shown that factors influencing willingness to pay included the frequency of utilization, satisfaction, the number of children per family, gender, age, and income and so on. Third, with regard to influence according to each factor, an additional unit in all the rest of factors except gender increased probability of willingness to pay such as the frequency of utilization(1.140), satisfaction(1.335), the number of children per family(1.417), age(1.124), income(2.426). On the other hand, in terms of gender, probability of willingness to pay was lower in female by 0.364 than in male. The implication of this study is that an interview is held with actual user and specific amount of money is presented regarding the economic value of children's library, which has been little known until now.

This study targets the urban park corresponding to the core areas (Hubs) of Green Infrastructure and estimates their value utilizing the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) and determines the planning factors which affect them. The research aims to provide basic data for supporting the value improvement in the planning stage for urban parks representing green infrastructure. The primary purpose of this research is to derive variables that affect economic value and planning factors to improve the use-value of urban parks, one of the Hubs of the green infrastructure. In this study, Sejong Lake Park, located in Sejong City, is the target site. This study collected the responses of 105 people by conducting a survey on the intention to pay for the use-value and the planning factors that affect it, targeting visitors to Sejong Lake Park. The study conducts Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) on this survey responses. The results are as follows: first, as a result of analyzing the variables which affect willingness to pay for use-value, residence and age influence the willingness to pay significantly among socioeconomic characteristics. Next, the survey responses of Double-bounded dichotomous choices (DB-DC) CVM are converted into variables through statistic techniques. Furthermore, the variables are used for a Logit model to draw coefficients. The average willingness to pay per person for the use-value of Sejong Lake Park using the derived coefficients was approximately found to be 8,597 won. Therefore, as of 2019, Sejong Lake Park, with a total of 430,000 visitors, is estimated to have an annual economic value of 3.7 billion won. Third, the average Likert scale of the planning factor affecting the decision to pay for the economic value of Sejong Lake Park was the highest along the waterfront landscape, and the convenience facilities and waterfront landscape showed the highest willingness to pay, 10,000 won. In the range between 2,500 won and 5,000 won, the waterfront area ranks highest. Therefore, it can be said that visitors to Sejong Lake Park take account of the economic value of using the waterfront landscape the most. This study is meaningful as a thesis on use-value and the planning factors that affected value evaluation results of urban parks, and the analysis of the correlation between the planning factors of urban parks as hubs located in urban areas.
