Would tourists donate to improve local wastewater management? A contingent valuation study of giving preferences
In many tourism-dependent islands, an acute imbalance between increasing demand for wastewater management and the capacity of existing sewage infrastructure represents an increased risk for ecosystems and population health. Given that locals may be opposed to increasing tourism taxes to fund investments in sewerage, promoting charitable giving among tourists may be an alternative to improve wastewater management in tourist destinations. Using a c…
Electrification of boat tours
Recent electrification of propulsion systems can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from waterborne tourism transport. Information on tourists’ preferences for cleaner boat tours may help in designing effective policies, tour packages, and pricing schemes to promote the transition to cleaner transportation. This study implements a choice experiment to investigate preferences of tourists for tour attributes (i.e. destination, boat size, and guide ser…

A hedonic valuation of sanitation services in Guatemala
Many developing countries lack universal sanitation services for residents. Years of inappropriate disposal of solid waste and wastewater have increased the potential for devastating environmental and health issues. An economic valuation of sanitation services may help in planning investment projects by demonstrating the benefits that households derive from having access to improved sanitation. We examine Guatemala as a case study and employ a se…

Gender Distribution in COAMFTE-Accredited Programs
This study examines gender distribution of faculty and students within a sample of COAMFTE-accredited marriage and family therapy training programs. The researchers' aim is to fill the existing research gap in understanding how females are represented in marriage and family therapy academic programs. A survey questionnaire and publically-available information was used to collect quantitative data. Student population results show a considerably hi…

Can user perception influence the quality of water services? Evidence from León, Nicaragua
This article investigates the validity of citizen feedback to evaluate the quality of water services in León, Nicaragua. Using generalized ordered logit models, this study presents a comprehensive evaluation of user satisfaction from water service characteristics. Potential asymmetries in the response of user satisfaction to relative perception of service performance are also investigated. Findings indicate that citizen satisfaction is based on b…

Household Shocks, Child Labor, and Child Schooling
Using data from the National Survey of Standards of Living conducted in Guatemala in 2000, this article tests the hypothesis that Guatemalan households use child labor and reduce child schooling to cope with household shocks. First, the authors use factor analysis to estimate the latent household propensity to natural disasters and socioeconomic shocks. Then, they estimate bivariate probit models to identify the determinants of child labor and sc…
