Abstract
L’objectif de cet article est de déterminer la volonté à payer (VAP) de la population sherbrookoise et magogoise pour l’amélioration de la qualité des eaux du lac et de la rivière Magog; ainsi que leur volonté à accepter (VAA) pour une compensation monétaire dans un scénario d’interruption du système d’épuration des eaux usées. Pour cela, nous utilisons une enquête d’évaluation contingente qui emploie le format de questionnaire VAP-VAA de type MBDC (Multiple Bounded Discrets Choices ou questionnaires à choix discrets et multi-bornes). Pour approfondir l’analyse, nous suivons la logique du modèle de Welsh et Poe (1998) pour déterminer les VAP et VAA moyennes des individus résidant autour du lac et de la rivière Magog. À cet effet, nous trouvons une VAP moyenne par habitant de 98$CA/mois, et une VAA moyenne par habitant de 758$CA/mois.
