How the valuation of environmental goods is related to income is a key question for economics, but the role of income inequality is often neglected. We study how income inequality affects the international transfer of the estimated value of environmental goods from a study to a policy site - a...

Increased pollution leads to a constant decrease of drinking water quality worldwide. Due to safety concerns, unpleasant taste and odour only about 3% of the population in South Korea is drinking untreated tap water. The present study uses choice experiments and cost-benefit analysis to...

Der zunehmende Einsatz von Anlagen zur Bewässerung sowie mangelnde Erfahrungswerte und Unkenntnis über den richtigen Einsatz der künstlichen Bewässerung haben in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu einer massiven Zunahme der Versalzung des Bodens geführt. Durch diese Bodenversalzung werden weite...

Im Arbeitsbericht werden Ergebnisse zur Berechnung und Analyse der Nährstoffbilanzierung der Jahre 2007 und 2010 auf Gemeindeebene für das Land Schleswig-Holstein vorgestellt und deren Datengrundlage, die Methodik und Unsicherheiten diskutiert. Es zeigt sich, dass die Nährstoffüberschüsse...

Cost-benefit analyses are commonly applied to assess the net welfare effects of policies to improve surface water quality. These analyses often disregard the biophysical fact that from implementation of policy measures to resulting improvements on water quality there will typically be...

Full accounting of costs and benefits are essential to policy analysis, but regulations may have effects beyond firms covered by the policy. Considering a policy mandating stream flows below hydroelectric dams, I estimate both direct costs of regulation to regulated firms and spillovers to other...

The supply chains of animal-sourced foods, particularly beef, pose risks to human and planetary health, threatening food sovereignty. These chains have been related to deforestation and the breaching of agricultural barriers, eradicating native forests and taking away space used to grow foods...

Cost-benefit analyses are commonly applied to assess the net welfare effects of policies to improve surface water quality. These analyses often disregard the biophysical fact that from implementation of policy measures to resulting improvements on water quality there will typically be...

How income and the valuation of environmental goods are related is a key question for science and policy, but the role of income inequality is often neglected. This paper studies how income inequality impacts the international transfer of environmental values-a practice called value or benefit...
