Abstract

Evaluation de la demande sociale pour les biens non marchands: vue d'ensemble des méthodes d'évaluation monétaire Cette contribution rappelle tout d'abord les fondements théoriques de la notion de consentement à payer du consommateur en référence aux différents concepts de surplus. Les différentes méthodes d'évaluation se distinguent selon la grandeur économique mesurée : le surplus du consommateur à utilité constante dans le cas de l'évaluation contingente, la demande marshalienne conduisant au calcul du surplus ordinaire dans le cas de la méthode des prix hédonistes, par exemples. Dans la pratique cependant, les principales différences entre les méthodes concernent l'adéquation au bien non marchand à évaluer et les informations nécessaires à leur mise en œuvre. Si les méthodes indirectes, des prix hédonistes et des coûts de déplacement, apparaissent plus fiables, car basées sur le comportement réels des consommateurs, elles achoppent fréquemment sur l'insuffisance d'information disponible pour une définition satisfaisante du bien à évaluer. Inversement les méthodes directes permettent d'évaluer des biens précisément définis, mais reposent sur un comportement fictif des consommateurs difficile à maîtriser. Ces difficultés pratiques sont examinées à partir de cas concrets tirés de la littérature. La conclusion identifie les pistes d'amélioration pour chacune des méthodes ainsi que les gains résidant dans la combinaison de différentes méthodes.
