Conducting economic valuation surveys during extreme events
There is no guidance on how to deal with the effects of catastrophic events, like
the COVID-19 pandemic, on stated preference survey responses, despite the possible
impact such events can have on stated values and survey responses. This paper provides
a concise analysis of the likely effects of extreme events on stated preference surveys,
focusing on the validity and temporal stability of estimated values, and offers a
set of recommendations. These recommendations can also be of use for designing other
types of household and individual surveys, beyond economic valuation surveys.
