Abstract

Resumen: El método de valoración contingente (MVC) es extensivamente usado para asistir decisiones de carácter público. Preocupa, sin embargo, que una proporción importante de individuos proveen una disposición a pagar de cero que no es reconciliable con la teoría económica. Basado en tres ejercicios de MVC, este artículo examina las motivaciones detrás de estos ceros no económicos (protesta) y sus implicaciones para la estimación de valores monetarios. Los resultados muestran que detrás de las protestas hay motivaciones éticas y de equidad que deberían ser consideradas en los procesos de decisión, pero que quedan escondidas al seguir el procedimiento convencional del MVC. ***** Abstract: The Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) is widely used to assist public decisions. It is worrying, however, that a significant proportion of individuals provide a willingness to pay from scratch, which is not reconcilable with the economic theory. Using three CVM exercises carried out in Colombia, this study examines what motivates these non-economic zeros (protest) responses and their implications for the estimation of monetary values. Our results show that protest responses are supported by ethical and fairness motivations, which should be taken into account in decision making but are ignored if one follows the conventional CVM procedure.
