Guess and Farnham discuss the demand curve in relation to whether a proposed program will be favored and affect the consumers’ willingness to purchase the output of the program. Willingness to pay issues complicate cost-benefit analysis and through surveying and hypothetical situations, the contingent valuation method is used. This method “is widely used in environmental areas, particularly to evaluate willingness to pay for nonuse or existence values of environmental goods” (Guess 325) and…
