dc.descriptionEste documento muestra los resultados de un ejercicio de valoración contingente llevado a cabo para evaluar los impactos ambientales causados por la disposición de 56,000 toneladas de cenizas de roca en la República Dominicana en 2003 y 2004. En marzo de 2007, el gobierno dominicano y la Corporación AES llegaron a un acuerdo legal por USD 6 millones en multas para evitar un largo proceso judicial. La disposición a pagar por un programa de observación y monitoreo para prevenir y mitigar los impactos ambientales causados por la ceniza de roca se estimó en USD 194 millones en 2007, reflejando las pérdidas de bienestar social experimentadas por la sociedad dominicana en ese momento.en-US
dc.descriptionThis paper shows the results of a contingent valuation exercise carried out to assess the environmental impacts caused by the disposal of 56,000 tons of rock ash in the Dominican Republic in 2003 and 2004. In March 2007, the Dominican government and AES Corporation reached a legal settlement for US$6 million in penalties to avoid a lengthy legal process. The willingness to pay for a watching and monitoring program to prevent and mitigate environmental impacts caused by rock ash was estimated at US$194 million in 2007, reflecting the welfare losses experienced by the Dominican society at that moment.es-ES
