Concerns about the accuracy of benefit transfer approaches remain a barrier to using low-cost benefit estimation techniques for policy decisions, or even as a rapid-assessment tool used for simulations or communication. In this paper, we present and discuss the process of generating benefit...

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...

This paper examines the application of quasi-experimental methods in environmental economics. We begin with two observations: (i) standard quasi-experimental methods, first applied in other microeconomic fields, typically assume unit-level treatments that do not spill over across units; (ii)...
