Estimating households’ willingness-to-pay associated with risks for improved plastic waste management using a new integrated contingent valuation-mindsponge- mindspongeconomics approach
AI summary Read the abstract
This Vietnamese study developed a novel integrated method combining contingent valuation with new behavioral economics frameworks to estimate households' willingness to pay for improved plastic waste treatment. Understanding what citizens value regarding plastic pollution control supports more effective policy design.
This study investigates Vietnamese citizens’ participation in plastic waste treatment and environment improvement. We developed and adopted a novel method (CVMM) that integrates the contingent valuation, mindsponge, and mindspongeconomics – a new type of economics to estimate and reasonate households’ financial contribution for improved plastic waste treatment in North Vietnam. CVMM analytics were used to explore 1103 observations surveyed during 2022-2023 in the North Vietnam. The empirical findings suggest that public-private partnership should be further expanded and/or strengthen to improve finance while stronger environment policy associated with environmental education should be taken to improve environmental literacy and build environmental culture, which ultimately help address plastic waste and environmental issues in the long run.

Using contingent valuation method to explore the households’ participation and willingness-to-pay for improved plastic waste management in North Vietnam
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used contingent valuation surveys with 525 households in northern Vietnam to assess residents' awareness of plastic waste problems and their willingness to pay for improved plastic waste treatment. The study found majority awareness of plastic impacts and willingness to pay, informing policy strategies for improving waste management in a high-plastic-consuming country.
Cognitive Awareness and Consumer Willingness to Pay for Plastic Waste Management Programs: a Contingent Valuation Method
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers surveyed 399 households in Condong Catur, Sleman, Indonesia using stratified random sampling and contingent valuation methods to assess willingness to pay (WTP) for improved plastic waste management programmes. Results showed 78.95% of respondents were willing to pay an average of IDR 26,000 per month, with income, education, and cognitive environmental awareness as significant positive predictors, while household size and shopping location had no significant influence.
Intention to use reusable shopping bags in an emerging economy: a Bayesian Mindsponge framework analysis
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers applied the Bayesian Mindsponge Framework to survey data from 536 Vietnamese consumers, finding that voluntary personal norms rather than obligation were the primary driver of intention to use reusable shopping bags over single-use plastic bags. The results suggest that pro-environmental behavior in emerging economies is more effectively cultivated through values-based approaches than compliance framing.

Exploring strategies to tackle plastic waste pollution: Evidence from Vietnamese household survey and Bayesian approach
AI summary Read the abstract
A Vietnamese household survey combined with Bayesian statistical analysis examined how families perceive and manage plastic waste. The study found that knowledge, attitudes, and income all influenced sorting behavior, but cultural norms and convenience were also strong factors. The findings inform the design of more effective behavior-change programs for plastic waste reduction.
