新奥尔良市因卡特里娜飓风而遭受严重破坏。卡特里娜飓风淹没了自然和建筑环境，淹没了城市。随着重建的进行，保护措施投资的决定将包括防线的选择和设计标准应满足的风暴严重程度。《路易斯安那州海岸保护和恢复技术报告》（2009年）等规划文件研究了保护措施的详尽清单，并在市政厅会议上征求公众意见。在这项研究中，我们采用了不同的方法来研究公众对保护措施的选择和投资的情绪。我们的研究利用了一个分层样本的规定选择实验，调查个人愿意支付重建新奥尔良的人造风暴防御，恢复自然风暴保护，并通过现代化的交通系统改善疏散选择。我们的目标是新奥尔良大都市区的居民以及其他美国公民。我们的研究结果表明，个人愿意支付增加风暴保护新奥尔良，但这些资源的分配不同的新奥尔良都会区的居民和其他美国公民。
The city of New Orleans suffered extensive damage as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Katrina overwhelmed the natural and built environment, inundating the city. As rebuilding proceeds, decisions on investment in protective measures will include the choice of lines of defense and the storm severity that design criteria should meet. An exhaustive list of protective measures has been studied in planning documents such as the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Technical Report (2009), with public comment solicited in town hall meetings. In this study we employ a different approach to examine public sentiment towards the selection and investment in protective measures. Our study utilizes a stated choice experiment with a stratified sample to investigate individuals’ willingness-to-pay for rebuilding New Orleans’ man-made storm defenses, restoring natural storm protection, and improving evacuation options through a modernized transportation system. We target residents of the New Orleans metropolitan area as well as other US citizens. Our results indicate that individuals are willing-to-pay for increased storm protection for New Orleans, but the allocation of these resources differs among residents of the New Orleans metro area and other US citizens.
