Valuation of Non-Market Goods

Valuation of Non-Market Goods
• What to do if a project provides a good or service for which there is no market?– No market price– No market demand curve – Cannot measure changes in WTP or CS
![Page 5: Valuation of Non-Market Goods](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051419/568158ca550346895dc61316/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Valuation of Non-Market Goods
• A number of CBA techniques have been developed to estimate WTP for non-marketed goods and services
• “Revealed Preference Methods” Boardman et al., Chapter 13– See also Zerbe & Dively, Chapter 18
![Page 6: Valuation of Non-Market Goods](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051419/568158ca550346895dc61316/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Valuation of Non-Market Goods
• Some techniques:– Markets for substitute goods (analogous
goods)– Hedonic pricing– Cost savings and intermediate goods– Travel Cost
![Page 7: Valuation of Non-Market Goods](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051419/568158ca550346895dc61316/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Substitutes
• Public sector provides a good or service that is identical to what is provided by private sector:– Housing– Medical services– Schools
![Page 8: Valuation of Non-Market Goods](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051419/568158ca550346895dc61316/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Substitutes
• But what if the project is not providing a good or service that is not identical (not a perfect substitute) of what private market provides?
• E.g. public housing is low-cost housing in areas with lower property values.
• Use hedonic pricing technique
![Page 9: Valuation of Non-Market Goods](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051419/568158ca550346895dc61316/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hedonic Pricing
• View demand as implicit demand for a bundle of implicit characteristics that are bound together within a good or service
• Price of house = f(#BR, Sq. ft, lot size, school quality, distance to shopping areas, noise level, crime rate, …..)
• Collect information from a sample of households with different characteristics of these characteristics
![Page 10: Valuation of Non-Market Goods](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051419/568158ca550346895dc61316/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Hedonic Pricing
• Regression model:House price = a + b0(#BR) + b1(Sq. Ft) + b2(lot size) + . . .
– Then the estimated coefficients represent the “marginal value of the individual characteristics in the prices of the house.
– ∂ House price / ∂ #BR = b0
![Page 11: Valuation of Non-Market Goods](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051419/568158ca550346895dc61316/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hedonic Pricing
• With this information can estimate the value of houses with particular characteristics, in particular locations.
• Projects may also change some of the individual characteristics, and the estimated coefficients can be used to value project outputs
• Estimate the amount that reducing noise level in neighborhood around airport will increase home values in the neighborhood.

Intermediate goods (inputs)
• Theoretically, can use derived demand curve (market demand for the input) to measure changes in WTP, CS
• Often there is not an existing market for the input – If the project is providing the input for the first
time
![Page 13: Valuation of Non-Market Goods](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051419/568158ca550346895dc61316/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Intermediate Goods
• Estimate:Income with project – Income without project
• Example – impact of irrigation project– Estimate farmers’ income with irrigation water
with income without irrigation • Higher yields, changed cropping patterns• Before/after comparisons • Returns from farmers in existing irrigated regions• In both cases, problem of attributing measured
differences to only the availability of irrigation water
![Page 14: Valuation of Non-Market Goods](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051419/568158ca550346895dc61316/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Intermediate Goods
• In this simple example, assume constant marginal product of water.– Do not measure the incremental profit from
each additional unit of water available– Reasonable assumption for small projects,
possible less reasonable for large projects
![Page 15: Valuation of Non-Market Goods](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051419/568158ca550346895dc61316/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Travel Cost
• Often used to measure the value of recreational sites– Users must travel to get to site– This travel is part of the “price” of using the site– Different users have different travel costs, and so pay
different “prices”– Assume all consumers (users) have same
preferences, – Then differences in the observed use levels (visits)
can be associated with different “prices” to estimate WTP of the “representative” consumer

Travel Cost
• From this information can derive market “demand” curve
• Spreadsheet

Travel Cost
• At price of 95, demand is zero• Now suppose a user fee of $10 is
implemented• Costs in all zones increase by 10:
– 13 visits/person zone A– 11 visits/person zone B– 4 visits/person zone C– 1 visit/person zone D– 0 visits/person zone E

• Consumer surplus without user charge:10,800,000
• Consumer surplus with user charge:7,250,000
