Application of choice experiments to quantify the existence value of an endemic moss: A case study in Chile
A choice experiment was applied to measure the existence value of an endemic moss. We assessed value separation, embedding or warm glow and 'ethical' motivations. We exemplify our application by valuing an inconspicuous moss endemic to Chile's sub-Antarctic region. The choice experime...

A choice experiment was applied to measure the existence value of an endemic moss. We assessed value separation, embedding or warm glow and 'ethical' motivations. We exemplify our application by valuing an inconspicuous moss endemic to Chile's sub-Antarctic region.

The design isolates the existence value by requiring respondents to make simultaneous tradeoffs between moss existence value, five other biodiversity-related values and income changes.
