Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) have interacted with humans during their common history. We used a contingent valuation method to assess the economic value of the management of this mesocarnivore’s negative impacts. We carried out face-to-face interviews with 746 Greek residents, using a multiple-bounded discrete choice approach to estimate willingness to pay (WTP) for red fox management under three impact situations: attack domestic animals, reduce game, carry disease. About 51.9%, 33.0%, and 81.1% of the respondents stated a mean WTP of €34.1, €44.9, and €72.1 for each situation, respectively. The total annual amounts of €18.7 million, €15.7 million, and €61.7 million could be collected from the target population for red fox management when they attack domestic animals, reduce game, and carry disease, respectively. Attitudes and likeability toward foxes were negatively associated while knowledge about foxes and fear of them were positively associated with WTP. The younger, richer, less educated, rural, farmers, hunters, and pet owners were generally more willing to pay for red fox management across situations. Females were more willing to pay for managing predation on domestic animals, while males were more willing to pay for managing predation on game. Our findings showed that the Greek residents highly value the management of red foxes in all impact situations and would be valuable for further advising the management process.

红狐（Vulpes vulpes）在它们共同的历史中与人类有过互动。我们使用了条件评估方法来评估管理这种中型食肉动物的负面影响的经济价值。我们对 746 名希腊居民进行了面对面访谈，使用多重有界离散选择方法来估计三种影响情况下红狐管理的支付意愿（WTP）：攻击家畜、减少猎物、携带疾病。大约 51.9%、33.0% 和 81.1% 的受访者表示每种情况的平均支付意愿分别为 34.1 欧元、44.9 欧元和 72.1 欧元。当红狐攻击家畜、减少猎物和携带疾病时，每年可从目标种群中分别收取 1870 万欧元、1570 万欧元和 6170 万欧元的资金用于红狐管理。对狐狸的态度和喜爱程度与支付意愿呈负相关，而对狐狸的了解和对它们的恐惧则与支付意愿呈正相关。年轻、富有、受教育程度较低的农村人、农民、猎人和宠物主人通常更愿意为不同情况下的红狐管理付费。女性更愿意为管理对家畜的捕食付出代价，而男性则更愿意为管理猎物的捕食付出代价。我们的研究结果表明，希腊居民高度重视在所有影响情况下对红狐的管理，这对于进一步为管理流程提供建议很有价值。
