美国水污染控制的估计边际成本往往超过其边际效益。我们提供的直觉、理论和经验证据表明，享乐属性模型——一种评估污染控制的常见的揭示偏好方法——可能无法捕捉到水的娱乐效益。以佛罗里达州坦帕湾为例，我们通过结合休闲需求模型和享乐财产模型来估计水质改善的支付意愿（WTP）。结果表明，业主对当地和区域休闲水质改善都有显著的WTP，并表明先前的享乐研究可能低估了水污染控制的好处。(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
The estimated marginal cost of U.S. water pollution control often exceeds its marginal benefit. We provide intuition, theory and empirical evidence suggesting that the hedonic property model-a common revealed-preference approach to valuing pollution control-may not capture water's recreational benefits. Using the case of Tampa Bay, Florida, we estimate willingness to pay (WTP) for water quality improvements by combining a recreation demand model with a hedonic property model. Results indicate that homeowners have significant WTP for both local and regional recreational water quality improvements and suggest that prior hedonic studies may underestimate the benefits of water pollution control.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.
