放过它们,放过我们:新冠肺炎疫情背景下野生动物的非市场价值评估研究

Let Wild Animal Back to Nature,Save Ourselves from Danger:Non-market Valuation of Wild Animal Under the Background of COVID-19 Pandemic

本文应用条件价值评估法测算了新冠肺炎疫情背景下野生动物的非市场价值。研究发现野生动物的非市场价值约高出其市场价值的3.95—4.43倍。野生动物的价值被严重低估,从而向市场传递扭曲的价格信号,并由此衍生出了大量猎捕、食用需求,最终打开了“潘多拉魔盒”,使得舌尖上的疫情屡次重演。进一步,本文还发现了价值取向(利己、利他和生物圈取向)、社会信任在改善居民对国家重点保护和非重点保护野生动物的支付意愿中具有重要作用。

With a contingent valuation method,the non-market valuation of wild-animal is estimated under the background of COVID-19 pandemic.Results show that non-market valuation of wild-animal is approximately 3.95-4.43 times higher than its market value.The non-market valuation of wild-animal is seriously underestimated,which sends distorted price signals to the market and results in large demand for animal product.Consequently,public health and safety incidents have repeatedly occurred.Furthermore,it is revealed that value orientations including egoistic,altruistic and biospherit,and social trust play a positive role in improving individuals’willingness to pay for wild-animals under special/non-special state protection.
