Additional informationNotes on this study
Respondents were informed that there is a 1 in 50 chance of a large earthquake in York in the next 50 years, and a 1 in 10 chance of a moderate earthquake in the next 50 years. Attribute level range as follows. Status quo in the event of an earthquake: 4 week disruption (large earthquake); 1 week disruption (moderate earthquake). Maximum improvement considered through infrastructure upgrades: 3-4 days disruption (large earthquake); <1 day disruption (moderate earthquake). WTP is converted to a per case estimate, with expected value of the attribute calculated as: p(moderate earthquake) x moderate damage + p(large earthquake) x large damage. |

Respondents were informed that there is a 1 in 50 chance of a large earthquake in York in the next 50 years, and a 1 in 10 chance of a moderate earthquake in the next 50 years. Heritage buildings defined as those listed on the Western Australian State Register of Heritage Places. Attribute level range as follows. Status quo in the event of an earthquake: 24 out of 30 buildings destroyed (large earthquake); 6 buildings destroyed (moderate earthquake). Maximum improvement considered through retrofitting program: 4 buildings destroyed (large earthquake); 1 building destroyed (moderate earthquake). WTP is converted to a per case estimate, with expected value of the attribute calculated as: p(moderate earthquake) x moderate damage + p(large earthquake) x large damage |
