From Curious to Pragmatically Curious: Comment on 'From Hopeless to Curious? Thoughts on Hausman's 'Dubious to Hopeless' Critique of Contingent Valuation'

摘要

This article extends the discussion introduced in this journal by Haab et al. (2013), who critique a 2012 article on contingent valuation (CV) by Hausman. We agree with Haab et al. "that the intellectual debate over [CV] is ongoing and that plenty of work remains to be done for the truly curious researcher" (593). However, our paper illuminates the limitations of current approaches to guide future research.
