The Willingness to Pay to Reduce School Bullying
Mikael Svensson ()
and Mattias Persson ()
Abstract: We use a discrete choice experiment conducted in Sweden to
elicit the willingness to pay (WTP) to reduce school bullying. The
estimations indicate a mean marginal WTP of 5.95 to 8.48 Swedish kronor
(€0.66 to €0.95), which implies that the aggregate WTP for each reduced
statistical victim of bullying (the value of a statistical bullying-victim
- VSBV) is 585,090 to 835,280 Swedish kronor (€65,446 to €93,431). The
results may be used to conduct economic evaluations of antibullying
programs, with an example shown in this paper, and provide policymakers
with useful information on taxpayers’ preferred allocations to antibullying
programs
