关于条件价值法(CV)的大量学术争论集中在该方法是否适合评估非使用价值。本文介绍了一项研究的结果，该研究考察了非使用者在保护诺福克布罗兹湿地方面的价值，诺福克布罗兹湿地是公认的国际重要湿地，受到盐水泛滥的威胁。对结果的讨论集中于CV法对非使用价值的无偏估计的有效性。本文提供了各种研究结果的图形表示，以表明这些结果在不同的商品和估值场景中是有逻辑排序的。然而，正如本文所得出的结论，逻辑性和有效性并不一定是同义词。
A great deal of the ongoing academic debate concerning the contingent valuation (CV) method has focused upon whether or not the method is suitable for assessing non-use values. This paper presents results from a study examining non-users' Values for preserving the Norfolk Broads, a wetland area of recognized international importance, from the threat of saline flooding. Discussion of results centres upon the validity of the CV method for eliciting unbiased estimates of non-use value. A graphical representation of findings from a variety of studies is presented to suggest that such results are logically ordered across goods and valuation scenarios. However, as the paper concludes, logicality and validity are not necessarily synonymous.
