Xie、Shah、Capannelli和Wang用或有评估方法研究了曼谷为逐步禁止使用污染型摩托车而设计的经济激励措施。就像在许多其它城市一样,曼谷政府一直在考虑采取一系列控制措施,以阻止并最终禁止使用高污染型摩托车。两个正在被审议的潜在政策手段是,对街道上行驶的污染型车辆收取费用,以及对原意停止行驶的污染型摩托车发放补偿金。因此,政策研究问题即包括:(1)在一定政策目标下,应该采取什么样的收费和补偿金标准;以及(2)摩托车主对这些费用和补偿金会做出什么反应。为了回答这些政策性问题,作者在曼谷进行了一个随机或有评估调查,以了解摩托车主在具体收费和补偿标准下,继续或放弃在街道上行使摩托车的可能性。结果表明,如果每年收费标准为1,000株的话,大约80%未通过排放检查的摩托车将停止行驶,而如果一次性补偿标准为10,000的话,这个比例将为大约50%。作者还估算了继续行使摩托车的最大支付意愿(WTP)以及放弃行使摩托车的最小补偿金接受意愿(WTA)的平均值,并分析了WTP和WTA的决定因素。他们的计量经济学分析结果表明,除了其它因素之外,家庭收入、燃料成本、摩托车用途、以及/或公共交通都影响WTP和WTA的值。
