The South Korean livestock industry has increased in scale and production, generating positive impacts on the national economy. However, livestock externalities, primarily malodor, have subsequently led to increased conflicts between producers and affected communities. This study estimated Korean households' willingness-to-pay (WTP) for government subsidies to help address livestock malodor using a contingent valuation method (CVM) derived from a double-bounded dichotomous choice model. The annual average household WTP was estimated at 29,206 Korean won (KRW) (USD 25). This was slightly higher than the respondents' self-reported average amount of KRW 25,457 (USD 22). The estimated economic value nationally is KRW 628 billion (USD 546 million) annually, for a total of KRW 3.14 trillion (USD 2.73 billion) over a proposed five-year period. The public's estimated WTP can be leveraged to improve livestock management practices, more efficient waste disposal techniques, and improved husbandry methods to address conflicts between producers and surrounding communities.
韩国的畜牧业规模和产量不断增加，对国民经济产生了积极影响。然而，畜牧业的外部性问题，主要是恶臭问题，导致了生产者和受影响社区之间的冲突加剧。本研究采用双边界二分选择模型衍生的条件价值评估方法（CVM），估算了韩国家庭对政府补贴的支付意愿（WTP），以帮助解决牲畜恶臭问题。每年平均家庭 WTP 估计为 29,206 韩元（KRW）（25 美元）。这略高于受访者自我报告的平均 KRW 25,457（22 美元）。全国每年的估计经济价值为 6.28 万亿韩元（62.8 亿美元），在拟议的五年期间内总计为 31.4 万亿韩元（273 亿美元）。公众的估计 WTP 可以用来改善畜牧业管理实践、更有效的废物处理技术以及改进畜牧业方法，以解决生产者和周边社区之间的冲突。
