Do focus groups contribute anything to the contingent valuation process?

Article Abstract:

A study investigated the qualitative dimension of the contingent valuation method (CVM) by concentrating on the role and use of focus groups within the CVM and their potential influence on the content validity of the process. It is argued that only by acknowledging and factoring in the limitations of groups as qualitative data sources on the essentially individual survey process of the CVM can researchers make any significant progress.
