Scaling up Ecosystem Services Values: Methodology, Applicability and a Case Study

Brander, Luke; Ghermandi, Andrea; Kuik, Onno; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

The approach of using existing data on economic values of local ecosystem services for an assessment of these values at a larger geographical scale can be called “scaling up”. In a scaling-up exercise, economic values from a particular study site are transferred to another geographical...

Economic Valuation of Forest Ecosystem Services: Methodology and Monetary Estimates

Chiabai, Aline; Travisi, C. M.; Ding, H.; Markandya, A.; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

By using ad hoc value transfer protocols, this paper offers a methodological contribution and provides accurate per hectare estimates of the economic value of some selected ecosystem services for all forest biomes in the world, identified following the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment taxonomy...

Mapping Ecosystem Services’ Values: Current Practice and Future Prospects

Schägner, Jan Philipp; Brander, Luke; Maes, Joachim; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012

Mapping of ecosystem services’ (ESS) values means valuing ESS in monetary terms across a relatively large geographical area and assessing how values vary across space. Thereby, mapping of ESS values reveals additional information as compared to traditional site-specific ESS valuation, which is...

A Global Map of Coastal Recreation Values: Results From a Spatially Explicit Based Meta-Analysis

Ghermandi, Andrea; Nunes, Paulo A.L.D. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

The welfare dimension of the recreational services provided by global coastal ecosystems is examined through a meta-analytical regression-based valuation approach. First, we construct a global, state-of-the-art database of stated and revealed preference estimates on coastal recreation, which...

Towards the Optimal Management of the Northeast Arctic Cod Fishery

Richter, Andries; Nunes, Paulo A.L.D. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

The objectives pursued by governments managing fisheries may include maximizing profits, minimizing the impact on the marine ecosystem, or securing employment, which all require adjusting the composition of the fishing fleet. We develop a management plan that can be adapted to those objectives...

The Profile of a “Warm-Glower”: A Note on Consumer’s Behavior and Public Policy Implications

Nunes, Paulo A.L.D.; Onofri, Laura - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

The paper focuses on the ongoing debate on non-market valuation, including the valuation environmental goods, and the opportunity to use contingent valuation for policy guidance. In fact, contingent valuation critics argue that reported willingness to pay answers do not reflect real economic...

Willingness to Pay for Agricultural Environmental Safety: Evidence from a Survey of Milan, Italy, Residents

Travisi, Chiara M.; Nijkamp, Peter - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

The widespread use of pesticides in agriculture provides a particularly complex pattern of multidimensional negative side-effects, ranging from food safety related effects to the deterioration of farmland ecosystems. The assessment of the economic implications of such negative processes is...

The Copula Approach to Sample Selection Modelling: An Application to the Recreational Value of Forests

Strazzera, Elisabetta; Genius, Margarita - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

The sample selection model is based upon a bivariate or a multivariate structure, and distributional assumptions are in this context more severe than in univariate settings, due to the limited availability of tractable multivariate distributions. While the standard FIML estimation of the...
