The effect of forest land use on the cost of drinking water supply: A spatial econometric analysis
Abildtrup, Jens; Garcia, Serge; Stenger, Anne - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011
Forest land use is often associated with the protection of water resources from contamination and the reduced cost of drinking water supply. This study attempted to measure the value of the forest on the quality of water resources from a contingent market, namely drinking water supply, by...

PRESERVING WATER QUALITY IN AGRICULTURE: BIOBED ROTATION TO VERTICAL
Boivin, Pascal; Guine, Veronique - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011
Up to 95% of the contamination of surface water by pesticides comes from on-farm point sources in connection with washing and preparation operations. This contamination is a growing concern for environment and human health. Because of their efficiency, their low cost and their friendly and...

Agricultural Costs of Carbon Dioxide Abatement via Land-use Adaptation on organic soils
Schaller, Lena; Kantelhardt, Jochen; Droesler, Matthias; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011
Increasing carbon dioxide emissions and related climate effects require mitigation strategies, thereby also emissions … significant CO2 emissions is being discussed more and more. This study aims to answer the question of whether changes of organic … model in which farm-individual and plot-specific CO2-abatement costs of selected landuse strategies are calculated by …

Identifying obstacles to the design and implementation of payment schemes for ecosystem services provided through farm trees
Schleyer, Christian; Plieninger, Tobias - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011
An important determinant of ecosystem services provision from European farmland is the amount and spatial arrangement of trees, shrubs, and woodlands that are integrated into the respective land use systems. Farm trees are considered ‘keystone structures’ of agroecosystems because of their...

Testing for Consistency in Tourists' Willingness to Pay for New Nature Reserves in the Gulf of Morbihan (France)
Voltaire, Louinord; Nassiri, Abdelhak; Bailly, Denis; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011
In this paper, we develop an empirical test of consistency in contingent willingness to pay (WTP) responses, which is based on the following a priori expectation. In economics, when an individual considers paying for public goods, his decision to pay, and his WTP are based on utility-maximising...

Demand for Irrigation Water for Pistachio Production from Depleting Groundwater Resources: Spatial Econometric Approach
Jaghdani, Tinoush Jamali; Brummer, Bernhard - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011
Depletion of groundwater resources is an international problem, and groundwater is probably the world’s most extracted raw material. The agriculture sector is one of the biggest users of groundwater resources for irrigation activities, and it plays an important role in the depletion of these...
