Abstract
This paper presents the results from a contingent valuation study carried out to value the yearly amount users are hypothetically willing to pay to maintain Rivoli Castle under a regime of public access. Estimates of expected willingness to pay are derived first parametrically by means of a standard univariate logit model and then nonparametrically by means of univariate kernel smoothers.
