Abstract
The cultivation of olive groves has been one of the most popular research topics on preferences for rural
externalities. The aims of this study are a) to analyze the preferences of citizens for some
externalities generated by traditional low-yield olive groves and b), to investigate if citizens are
heterogeneous when assessing these externalities. To achieve these purposes a Best-Worst Scaling
(BWS) approach with a Latent Class Model (LCM) was applied. Data come from an on-line survey
administrated to a total of 549 respondents in Spain. The results showed that Spanish citizens value
BIODIVERSITY as the most important externality while GOVERNANCE as the worst one.
Moreover, our results confirm the heterogeneity of the citizen’s valuation by obtaining four classes
of citizens. Two different approaches have been used to characterize those classes. The first one is
based on the parameters estimates of the LCM and the second one on some citizen socio-economic
characteristics. The four identified classes have been the “socio-cultural & olive grove lovers”,
“environmental & educated lovers”, “sustainability lovers” and “economic lovers”. Our results
confirm the heterogeneity of the citizens’ preferences on rural externalities.
