摘要: Abstract Using representative household survey data from Japan after the Fukushima accident, we estimate peoples' willingness-to-pay (WTP) for renewable, nuclear, and fossil fuels in electricity generation. We rely on random parameter econometric techniques to capture various degrees of heterogeneity between respondents, use detailed regional information assess how WTP varies with distance both nearest nuclear power plant Fukushima. Compared fuels, find a positive renewable negative fuels. These effects, absolute terms, increase proximity
