Abstract

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo obtener la disposición a pagar (DAP) para mejorar la calidad del aire a partir de la reducción de emisiones de material particulado producidas por industrias en la costa nororiental de Venezuela. Se relacionó la contaminación con efectos adversos sobre la salud. Se disenó, validó y aplicó un cuestionario de valoración contingente y se usó el modelo logístico (LOGIT) para estimar la DAP. El modelo LOGIT resultó ser confiable, con una tasa holística de éxito del 91,7%. La DAP fue de 1,5 USD (mes.persona)-1, para un costo atribuible a la contaminación atmosférica de 57,3 MM USD.ano-1. ***** This research aimed to obtain the willingness to pay (WTP) to improve air quality from the reduction of emissions of particulate matter produced by industries in the northeastern coast of Venezuela. Pollution was related to adverse health effects. A contingent valuation questionnaire was designed, validated and applied and the logistic model (LOGIT) was used to estimate the WTP. The LOGIT model proved to be reliable, with a holistic success rate of 91.7%. The WTP was 1.5 USD (month.person)-1, for a cost attributable to air pollution of USD 57.3 MM.year -1
