The price is right!? A meta-regression analysis on willingness to pay for local food.

We study the literature on willingness to pay (WTP) for local food by applying meta-regression analysis to a set of 35 eligible research papers that provide 86 estimates on consumers' WTP for the attribute "local." An analysis of the distribution of WTP measures suggests the presence...
