Economic valuation meta-analysis of freshwater improvement in developed and developing countries. Are they different?

The quality of drinking water differs across countries, so households show different levels of willingness to pay (WTP) to improve it, which is also influenced by their income levels. This study presents a meta-analysis using studies from 30 developed and developing countries, representing 4.7 billi...
