Contingent valuation of landowner demand for forest amenities: application in Andalusia, Spain
通过对765位非工业私有林主的调查，采用离散选择条件估值法，估算出他们放弃森林舒适性所需的中位补偿为每年每公顷387.8欧元，并分析了财产规模、树种和距城市距离等因素的影响。
Abstract We applied discrete choice contingent valuation to the amenities consumed by non-industrial private forest owners in Andalusia (Spain) in a survey of 765 landowners. The landowners’ median willingness to accept compensation from an alternative investment for giving up land amenity consumption is EUR 387.8 per hectare yearly. The preferred model shows diminishing marginal values of amenity consumption with property size, negative effects of eucalyptus and Aleppo pine presence and positive effects of distance to urban centres. We discuss the performance of the question formats and models employed and recommend the single-bounded format in this valuation context.
