The private and public insurance value of conservative biodiversity management
Baumgärtner, Stefan; Quaas, Martin F. - 2005
The ecological literature suggests that biodiversity reduces the variance of ecosystem services. Thus, conservative biodiversity management has an insurance value to risk-averse users of ecosystem services. We analyze a conceptual ecological-economic model in which such management measures...

Economic land use, ecosystem services and microfounded species dynamics
Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rüdiger - 2004
In an integrated economy-ecosystem model humans choose their land use and leave the residual land as habitat for three species forming a food chain. The size of habitat determines the diversity and abundance of species. That biodiversity generates, in turn, a flow of ecosystem services with...
