How is the value of the BnL determined?
How is the value of the BnL determined?
We use the contingent valuation methodology (CVM), a scientifically recognised method to determine the monetary value of non-marketable services. The CVM method was developed by Nobel laureates and has been applied globally since the 1980s and is even accepted as evidence in court in the USA.
How does the CVM work?
Participants are asked to answer hypothetical questions reflecting the value of the BnL and its services. Various scenarios are presented to understand how important the library is to users and what economic value it offers them.
