Abstract

[fre] Si la qualité est un élément central de l’expérience récréative et donc de la demande de loisirs, les méthodes traditionnelles d’évaluation économique ont encore du mal à intégrer l’aspect multidimensionnel. La méthode des choix multi-attributs (Choice Experiment), perçue comme une alternative, comporte également certaines limites. Nous examinons donc une nouvelle approche dite méthode multi-programmes (MP). Basée sur les travaux de Lancaster (1966) et de Hoehn (1991) et sur un protocole développé par Santos (1998) et Point et al. (2007), la MP est consacrée au calcul des consentements à payer (CAP) des agents pour les différents attributs (appelés «programmes») d’une politique environnementale mais aussi à l’étude des éventuelles relations entre ces derniers. En d’autres termes, elle considère le fait qu’un biais d’inclusion est susceptible de se manifester. La MP ne mobilise donc pas, pour calculer la valeur de la politique environnementale, la procédure de «valorisation indépendante et sommation» (Independent Valuation and Summation) (Hoehn, 1991), mais tient également compte des changements liés à la mise en oeuvre de la politique dans son ensemble (Hoehn et Loomis, 1993). Nous proposons l’application de la MP au littoral girondin, où les activités récréatives s’exercent simultanément dans l’océan, sur le sable et en forêt. Un programme est lié à chaque espace. Pour modéliser les réponses dichotomiques, nous utilisons l’approche de Cameron et James (1987a) qui considère qu’un enquêté va refuser de payer pour une politique si son CAP pour cette dernière est supérieur au coût auquel elle a été proposée. Les résultats montrent que, isolé, seul le programme relatif à la forêt n’est pas valorisé. Par ailleurs, contrairement aux postulats de Hoehn (1991) et de Santos (1998), les programmes sont majoritairement indépendants en évaluation. Les proposer conjointement n’engendre pas de gain supplémentaire de bien-être. [ger] Qualität ist ein entscheidendes Merkmal der Freizeiterfahrungen und somit der Nachfrage nach Freizeittätigkeiten. Bei der herkömmlichen Methoden der wirtschaftlichen Bewertung ist es jedoch noch schwer, den multidimensionalen Ansatz einzubeziehen. Aber auch die Methode der Mehrfachattribute (Choice Experiment), . die als Alternative betrachtet wird, hat bestimmte Grenzen. Wir analysieren daher einen neuen Ansatz, die so genannte Mehrfachprogramm-Methode (MP). Diese Methode, die auf den Arbeiten von Lancaster (1966) und Hoehn (1991) sowie auf einem von Santos (1998) und Point et al. (2007) entwickelten Protokoll basiert, dient der Berechnung der Zahlungsbereitschaft der Wirtschaftsbeteiligten für die verschiedenen Attribute („ Programme“ genannt) einer Umweltpolitik, aber auch der Analyse der etwaigen Beziehungen zwischen letzteren. Das heißt, die MP trägt dem Umstand Rechnung, dass eine Verzerrung aufgrund der Einbeziehung auftreten kann. Zur Berechnung des Werts der Umweltpolitik wird bei der MP somit nicht auf das Verfahren der "unabhängigen Bewertung und Summierung“ (Independent Valuation and Summation) (Hoehn, 1991) zurückgegriffen, sondern es werden auch die Veränderungen aufgrund der Umsetzung der Politik insgesamt berücksichtigt (Hoehn und Loomis, 1993). Wir schlagen vor, die MP auf das Departement Gironde an der französischen Atlantikküste anzuwenden, wo Freizeittätigkeiten im Ozean, auf dem Sand und in den Wäldern möglich sind. Für jeden Raum wird ein Programm erstellt. Zur Modellierung der dichotomischen Antworten verwenden wir die Methode von Cameron und James (1987a), bei der davon ausgegangen wird, dass ein Befragter sich weigert, für eine Politik zu zahlen, wenn seine diesbezügliche Zahlungsbereitschaft über den Kosten liegt, zu denen sie vorgeschlagen wurde. Die einzelnen Ergebnisse zeigen, dass nur das Programm für den Wald nicht bewertet wird. Entgegen den Postulaten von Hoehn (1991) und Santos (1998) sind im Übrigen die Programme bei der Bewertung mehrheitlich voneinander unabhängig. Sie gemeinsam vorschlagen hat somit keinen zusätzlichen Gewinn im Hinblick auf das Wohlbefinden zur Folge. [spa] Aunque la calidad es un elemento básico de la experiencia del ocio y, por consiguiente, de la solicitud de actividades recreativas, los métodos tradicionales de evaluación económica tienen todavía dificultades para integrar su aspecto multidimensional. El método de la selección con multiatributos (Choice Experiment), percibida como una alternativa, tiene también algunas limitaciones. Por consiguiente, analizaremos una nueva aproximación llamada método multiprogramas (MP). Basado en los trabajos de Lancaster (1966) y de Hoehn (1991) y en un protocolo desarrollado por Santos (1998) y Point et al. (2007), el método MP se centra en el cálculo de los consentimientos de pago (CAP) de los agentes para los distintos atributos (llamados «programas. ») de la política medioambiental, pero también en el estudio de las eventuales relaciones entre estos últimos. En otros términos, considera el hecho de que puede manifestarse una desviación inclusiva. El MP no moviliza, por lo tanto, para el cálculo del valor de la política medioambiental, el procedimiento de la «valorización independiente y sumatoria» (Independent Valuation and Summation) (Hoehn, 1991), sino que tiene en cuenta también los cambios relacionados con la puesta en marcha de la política en su conjunto (Hoehn y Loomis, 1993). Proponemos la aplicación del MP al litoral de Gironde, donde las actividades recreativas se ejercen simultáneamente en el mar, la arena y el bosque. Se relaciona un programa con cada espacio. Para modelizar las respuestas dicotómicas, utilizamos la aproximación de Cameron y James (1987a), que considera que un encuestado rechazará pagar por una política si su CAP para esta última es superior al coste al que esta se ofrece. Los resultados muestran que, aislado, solo el programa correspondiente al bosque no se valoriza. Además, contrariamente a los postulados de Hoehn (1991) y de Santos (1998), los programas son mayoritariamente independientes en la evaluación. El hecho de ofrecerlos conjuntamente no genera ningún beneficio adicional de bienestar. [eng] Whilst quality is a key factor of the recreational experience and hence of recreational demand, traditional methods of economic assessment still have trouble incorporating the multi-dimensional aspect. The "choice experiment” method, seen as an alternative, has its limits as well. We therefore examine a new approach known as the multi-programme (MP) method. MP is based on the work of Lancaster (1966) and Hoehn (1991) and on a protocol developed by Santos (1998) and Point et al. (2007). It focuses on determining agents’ willingness to pay (WTP) for different choices (called "programmes”) in an environmental policy but also studies potential relations between the choices. In other words, it allows for the possible occurrence of an inclusion bias. Consequently, to calculate environmental policy, MP does not use the "independent valuation and summation” procedure (Hoehn, 1991) but also takes into account changes due to the enactment of the entire policy (Hoehn and Loomis, 1993). We report on an application of MP to the coast of the Gironde département (south-west France), where recreational activities take place in ocean, sand, and forest spaces concurrently. There is a programme for each space. To model dichotomous responses, we use the Cameron and James (1987a) approach, which assumes that a respondent will refuse to pay for a policy if his or her WTP for the latter exceeds the cost at which the policy has been offered. The results show that, taken in isolation, only the forest programme is not valued. We also find that, in contradiction with the postulates of Hoehn (1991) and Santos (1998), a majority of programmes are valued independently. Offering them jointly generates no additional welfare gain.
