| dc.description.abstract | This paper analyzes the welfare effects of improved health status through increased
water quality using a choice experiment. The survey was administered to a random
sample of households in metropolitan Cairo, Egypt. We apply a random parameter
logit model in the analysis and illustrate the richness of information that can be
obtained from this type of model by estimating individual level willingness to pay
(WTP). We find a significant WTP for improved health status, both for short-run and
long-run health effects. However, the estimated WTP is fairly low compared with the
costs of a program that would achieve these improvements. | swe |
