In each sitio or sub-barangay to be covered by the ECOSWAM service, the researchers took as sample, every third household from the list of households. The sample size for the household survey consisted of 604 respondents or at least 200 respondents from each of the three priority barangays. According to Mitchell and Carson (1990:225), the usable sample sizes needed for respondents from the households and business establishments are shown in Table 3 Table 3: Sampling Size for Households and Business Establishments Respondents Usable Sample Size Sample Size Population Sample Size as a V= 2.0 , α = 0.10 (2004) Percent of Total Population ∆ = 0.15 ∆ = 0.30 Households 508 600 7,391 8.12 Business establishments (with business permits) 12 127 150 731 20.5
Where: V = coefficient of variation ∆ = possible deviation as a percentage of the mean revealed WTP α = 0.10 indicates that 90% of the time estimated mean WTP will be within ∆ of true mean WTP 3.2.1.3. The Definition of Variables and the Econometric Models Models for Households Model 1: Basic Model (ECOSWAM Attributes only) of the Base Case ViH = f (Xk, εH) (6a) ViH = ASCH + β1H * C + β2H * F + β3H * P + β4H * WTL1 + β5H * WTL2 (6b) Model 2: Complete or Expanded Model (ECOSWAM attributes interacted with the characteristics of the households) of the Base Case ViHC = f (Xk, ZmH, εH) (7) Where: i = option = 1, 2; option 2 is the base case in the choice set ViH = The probability that the household (respondent) will choose the ith option in the choice set X k = Attributes of the ECOSWAM options (see Table 3.1) ASCH = Alternative specific constant for households β k = Coefficients of the attributes, X k Z mH = Individual characteristics of the household (H) interacted with the attributes of the ECOSWAM service options α mH = Coefficients of the Z mH interacted with a XK εH = Error term to explain other factors affecting the choice that are not included in the model for households Subscript H = Basic Household Model 1 Subscript HC = Complete or Expanded Household Model 2 Table 4: Variables in the Choice Models for the Households Variable / Description and Codes Coefficient Dependent Variable The probability that the household (respondent) will choose the ith option in ViH the choice set Independent Variables Xk Attributes of ECOSWAM Services C Collector of waste and waste collection or transport vehicle Level 1: barangay workers with hired vehicle, e.g., jeepney (0) Level 2: municipal workers with truck (1) F Frequency or number of times waste is collected in a week Level 1: Once a week (1); Level 2: Twice a week (2) P Price of the ECOSWAM service or the user fee Level 1: PhP5/week(5) Level 2: PhP10/week(10) Level 3: PhP15/week(15) Level 4: Php20/week(20) 13
