Abstract

This paper reports on results for a graded-pair comparison questionnaire where respondents rate pairs of Pacific Northwest salmon preservation options. Each of the preservation options includes the number of jobs lost and the level of salmon preserved. Ordered-probit analysis is used to estimate WTP for salmon preservation and avoiding unemployment.
