Abstract: 
This analysis estimates the value that the inhabitants of the canton of Neuchâtel attach on the preservation of the Doubs. It is achieved with the use of the open-ended contingent valuation method. The results indicate that an inhabitant from this canton is, on average, willing-to-pay 55 CHF per year to preserve the Doubs, which translates to a value of up to 9.63m CHF that the inhabitants of this canton attach on the preservation of the Doubs. These estimates may be used as a guide by the relevant administrative and national authorities in the development of environmental policies.
