本文讨论了一个实验中，一个陌生的环境商品的价值，其总价值有一个大的非使用组件，使用显示偏好的方法进行验证。由于我们无法通过激励兼容机制观察偏好，我们收集自愿捐款以提供商品。我们将这些贡献解释为公共产品价值的“理论下限”，并估计了下限。我们还研究了我们是否可以使用偶然捐赠数据来估计这样的下限值。我们使用了一个后续的或有捐赠的问题，关于受访者的确定性水平，她对或有捐赠的问题的回答。这项研究的结果表明，使用后续确定性问题，以区分受访者谁实际上会捐赠的那些谁不会是一个有前途的方法来估计一个下限希克斯盈余措施。(C)北京：科学出版社.
This paper discusses an experiment in which the value for an unfamiliar environmental good, whose total value has a large nonuse component, is verified using a revealed-preference method. As we were unable to observe preferences via an incentive compatible mechanism, we collected voluntary contributions toward the provision of the good. We make a case for interpreting these contributions as a ''theoretical lower bound'' on the value of the public good and estimate the lower bound. We also investigate whether we can use contingent donation data to estimate such lower bounds on values. We used a follow-up to the contingent donation question about the respondent's level of certainty with respect to her response to the contingent donation question. The results of this study suggest that use of the follow-up certainty question to differentiate respondents who would actually donate from those who would not is a promising approach to estimating a lower bound to Hicksian surplus measures.
