“…In addition, residents in olive-grove dependent municipalities reap a direct benefit from the payments. These relationships would be in line with those detected by Mogas et al (2009) related to increased quality of reforestation programs, who also identify a higher preference for the non-status quo option in higher-income respondents, individuals living in areas where the benefits would be provided and respondents undertaking recreational activities in forests. Lastly, respondents declaring a higher level of difficulty in completing the choice experiment exercise are more willing to move away from the status quo.…”

“…The majority of these studies adhere to the stated preference paradigm to estimate welfare improvements associated with reduction of fire risk, or focus on the evaluation of forest restoration projects in areas having experienced a significant wildfire (Mogas et al, ; Riera and Mogas, ). Stetler et al () and Loomis () are examples of the application of hedonic property models that find significant decrease in property value as a result of proximity to fire afflicted areas.…”

Kountouris, Y., Remoundou, K. (2011). Valuing the Welfare Cost of Forest Fires: a Life Satisfaction Approach. Kyklos, 64 (4), 556-578.Sustainable natural resource management is at the core of the policy agenda, given the wide array of goods and services environmental resources generate, that significantly contribute to social welfare and productive capacity of modern economies. Likewise, there is a large policy interest in the monetization of the economic effects of environmental damages, to enable the design of response and mitigation strategies. This paper focuses on the valuation of the welfare losses from forest fires in the fire prone Mediterranean region applying the life-satisfaction approach. Detrimental effects on utility relate to morbidity, losses of marketed goods and impacts on forest goods and services. For our empirical investigation, we employ self-reported life satisfaction, income and other socio-economic information from the Eurobarometer Survey Series matched with data on the number and extent of forest fires at the regional level. To account for endogeneity, we instrument forest fire characteristics with the mean daily precipitation in the region during the fire season ( April to September). Our sample covers Portugal, Spain, Italy and the Mediterranean provinces of France, and spans from 1986-1993 and 2001-2003. We find that both forest fire incidence and forest fire extent have a significant negative effect on individual welfare. We estimate the monetary loss from an additional fire incident to be (sic)0.20 and the loss from burning an additional 100ha of forest at (sic)2.03 per household respectively. Nevertheless, the negative effect of forest fires on life satisfaction is significant only for the rural population. Results therefore provide useful insights on the detrimental effects of forest fires at the regional level for different segments of the population that should be accounted for in policy formulation.Peer reviewe

“…Researchers have studied the same object with two different methods and compared their results. CE turned out to be more effective (Hanley et al, 1998;Mogas et al, 2009). CE is advantageous in behavioral analysis: incentive measures are controlled in the hands of experimenters; orthogonal matrices provide the biggest statistical benefits; the various changes of attributes can be observed; the introduction and exclusion of products and services can be done directly (Louviere and Hensher, 1983).…”

Abstract. Although an important part of ecotourism, there are not many researches on environmental ethics in ecotourism, especially in a quantitative way. This paper took tourists' value cognition as the research object and creatively introduced the choice experiment (CE) approach in eco-economics aiming at work out the suitable experimental model for environmental ethics based quantitative researches. Ecotourists of three ecological counties in Zhejiang, China were investigated. Their cognition of ecological values was converted into virtual willingness of payment for four aspects in ecotourism improvement (ecological treatment measures, environmental education, tourist amount control and special rural features) and they were found to prefer an enhanced state of the four aspects. It was also showed in the survey that ecotourists' value cognition was influenced by their ecotourism experiences, gender, education background and income level. Based on the findings, policy suggestions were presented in four perspectives: the importance of ecological treatment measures, compensation for deficiency in environmental education, control of market size and flexible use of rural elements. With the help of CE, the results of environmental ethics research would be a more scientific basis for the value cognition research and summary.
