Abstract

AbstractThe contingent valuation method (CVM) is a widely used experimental method to measure the monetary value of goods. However, CVM estimates are sensitive to experiment design. In this study, we formulated the optimal design problem as a minimization problem of the Fisher information metric of a gradient vector field generated by using the statistical model of the CVM. Furthermore, a necessary and sufficient condition of the optimal design was proven.
