本文评估了潜在的不完整的资源使用的定义，以影响估计非用户支付意愿（WTP），强调资源的一个详尽的用途可能很难表征。这些数据来自一个涉及沿海湿地恢复的既定偏好分析。结果表明，用于区分湿地服务的用户和非用户的机制可能会影响非用户支付意愿的估计，对于某些属性，传统的用户和非用户支付意愿之间的区别可能有可接受的经验理由。更广泛地说，结果表明，使用行为和恢复值之间的关系可能比通常假设的更复杂，并指出经常用于区分用户和非用户支付意愿的方法的局限性。
This article assesses the potential for incomplete definitions of resource use to influence estimates of nonuser willingness to pay (WTP), with an emphasis on resources for which an exhaustive set of uses may be difficult to characterize. The data are drawn from a stated preference analysis involving coastal wetland restoration. Results suggest that mechanisms used to distinguish users and nonusers of wetland services may influence estimates of nonuser WTP and that for some attributes, traditional distinctions between user and nonuser WTP may have arguable empirical justification. More broadly, results suggest that relationships among use behaviors and restoration values may be more complex than are typically assumed and point to limitations in methods frequently used to distinguish user and nonuser WTP.
