Description

This data is based on a contingent valuation for a community sewage system in Southeast Louisiana. The survey used an Incentive Compatible payment card to elicit willingness to pay for the new system. Using interval regression, we find statistically significant estimates for willingness to pay despite a small sample size of 51. Interval regression is also used to find what factors affect willingness to pay. All analysis and cleaning was conducted using Stata in a single .do file, and data is saved as a .dta file.
