From the inbox:
The editors of Urban Studies have now had a chance to read the revised version of your article entitled "Public support for hosting the Olympic Summer Games in Germany: The CVM approach" and I am happy to say that we would like to publish it in Urban Studies.
Yay! Here is a link to the working paper: http://econpapers.repec.org/paper/aplwpaper/15-06.htm.
My key takeaway from this paper (and this one) is that CVM does not necessarily need to be conducted with a one-shot dichotomous choice referendum valuation question, which turns out to be the least efficient type of question possible. The referendum might be the optimal choice in terms of incentive compatibility but useful willingness to pay estimates can be obtained using more efficient valuation questions.
