Abstract

En présence d'externalités, l'équilibre de marché ne permet pas de réaliser une allocation efficace des ressources, ce qui justifie l'intervention de l'État. Celle-ci peut passer par un rationnement par les prix (taxe sur la pollution par exemple). L'absence de marché pour la plupart des biens et des services fournis par l'environnement, a conduit à développer des méthodes spécifiques pour valoriser les coûts et les bénéfices des politiques publiques. Les méthodes indirectes (méthode du coût de déplacement par exemple) s'efforcent d'estimer le consentement à payer des individus pour la qualité de l'environnement en observant leur comportement sur des marchés liés, tandis que la méthode d'évaluation contingente utilise des enquêtes pour la demande de l'évaluation monétaire des biens non marchands. Cette dernière méthode est plus flexible et s'applique aux valeurs de non-usage. Néanmoins, la fiabilité de l'évaluation contingente demeure un sujet de discussion.
