In Southeast Asia, the seasonal transboundary haze pollution stemming from slash-and-burn practices of traditional Indonesian farmers affects several countries in the region including Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei. Despite both domestic and regional efforts that have been put in place to help fight against haze, Southeast Asian haze remains a long-term issue that recurs in a varying degree of intensity during every dry season in the region. While we remain optimistic that the problem will eventually be resolved, given that most of these fires are the result of human activity, solutions can be executed successfully only in the longer run. In the interim, one of Singapore's options is to adapt. A contingent valuation (CV) survey on 793 Singapore residents was conducted in Singapore between November and December 2017 to elicit their willingness-to-pay (WTP) for a haze adaptation program and a haze eradication program in Singapore. We use a double-bounded dichotomous choice CV survey design and the Kaplan-Meier-Turnbull method and the probit regression to infer the distribution of Singapore residents’ WTP for the two programs and find that they are willing to pay between S$ 46.46 and S$ 60.06 for a haze adaptation program that reduces the local impacts of haze and between S$ 51.66 and S$ 66.76 for a haze eradication program. These findings suggest that Singapore residents continue to value the government's effort to derive solutions to resolve the haze crisis that recurs intermittently.

新加坡对雾霾适应计划和雾霾消除计划的支付意愿:2015 年跨境雾霾 *

在东南亚,印度尼西亚传统农民刀耕火种造成的季节性跨界雾霾污染影响了该地区的多个国家,包括印度尼西亚、新加坡、马来西亚和文莱。尽管国内和地区都做出了努力来帮助对抗雾霾,但东南亚雾霾仍然是一个长期问题,在该地区的每个旱季都会以不同程度的强度出现。虽然我们对问题最终会得到解决保持乐观,但考虑到大多数火灾是人类活动造成的,但解决方案只有从长远来看才能成功执行。在此期间,新加坡的选择之一就是适应。2017 年 11 月至 12 月期间,新加坡对 793 名新加坡居民进行了条件评估 (CV) 调查,以了解他们对新加坡雾霾适应计划和雾霾消除计划的支付意愿 (WTP)。我们使用双界二分选择CV调查设计以及Kaplan-Meier-Turnbull方法和概率回归来推断新加坡居民对这两个项目的WTP分布,发现他们愿意支付的费用在S$ 46.46和S$之间减少雾霾对当地影响的雾霾适应计划为 60.06 新元,消除雾霾计划为 51.66 新元至 66.76 新元。这些调查结果表明,新加坡居民仍然重视政府为解决间歇性雾霾危机而采取的解决方案的努力。
