A Study on the Disparity of WTP and WTA of the Basin's Willingness to Compensate:Based on the Residents' CVM Investigation in the Liaohe River Middle Reaches Area

摘要

How to promulgate the stakeholders' real willingness to eco-compensate is not only a difficult question of ecosystem service payment research,but also a key question of the government and administrations' ecology compensation policy making.However,the disparity of WTP and WTA was a hot spot in this research area.The objects of this research were the 7 cities of Liaohe river basin in the middle reaches such as Benxi,Shenyang,Anshan,Fushun,Chaoyang and Chifeng.The method used in this paper is known as contingent valuation method.We estimated out a resident's WTP was 59.39 Yuan per people per year and WTA was 248.60 Yuan per people per year for protecting basin ecological environment and water resources by simultaneously measuring the same respondent's WTP and WTA,which can examine his or her real compensation wish.Using regression method,we analyzed out that the main cause of the disparity of WTP and WTA was the income levels of the respondents,on this basis we gave out appropriate policy recommendations.
