Abstract

[This chapter describes how to collect primary and secondary data for nonmarket valuation studies. The bulk of this chapter offers guidance on how to design and implement a high-quality nonmarket valuation survey. Understanding the full data collection process will also help in evaluating the quality of data that someone else collected (i.e., secondary data). As there are not standard operating procedures for collecting nonmarket valuation, this chapter highlights the issues that should be considered in each step of the data collection process from sampling to questionnaire design to administering the questionnaire. While high-quality data that reflect individual preferences will not ensure the reliability or validity of estimated nonmarket values, quality data are a prerequisite for reliable and valid nonmarket measures.]
