Integrating Property Value and Local Recreation Models to Value Ecosystem Services in Urban Watersheds
提出一种新的揭示偏好方法,通过整合房产价值数据和本地休闲选择模型,估计住宅开发导致的土地利用变化对水质及生态系统服务的影响,并以北卡罗来纳州韦克县为例展示其应用。
This paper outlines a new revealed preference method to estimate the effects of changes in land use associated with residential development on water quality and the implied ecosystem services at the watershed level. The analysis integrates data describing several types of behavior and uses hedonic property value and random utility models for local recreation to consider the multiple impacts of ecosystem services on household well-being. Several policy examples drawn from changes in Wake County, North Carolina, are used to demonstrate how spatial differences in residential development are reflected in the model’s estimates of the economic costs of deterioration in watershed quality. <i></i>
