“…To our knowledge, only one paper (Farreras et al 2005) presents a more thorough investigation into whether and why different sub-populations exhibit a different WTP for an environmental policy. This paper presents results from a study where four distributional dimensions of implementing a new management plan for large carnivores in Sweden are considered simultaneously: gender, age, space and income.…”

“…Swallow et al 1994, Cameron andEnglin 1997), while other studies have found the reverse (Dupont 2001). Yet others present mean WTP values that are not significantly different between women and men (see Farreras et al 2005, for a literature review). A general picture of gender differences in WTP for an environmental project is impossible to determine either for a specific natural resource or for natural resources as a whole.…”

“…This paper differs from previous research in the sense that it considers all the above distributional dimensions together. To our knowledge, only one paper (Farreras et al 2005) presents a more thorough investigation into whether and why different sub-populations exhibit a different WTP for an environmental policy, at the same time considering gender, age and income. 1,2 To this we add a new dimension: space.…”

This paper aims to fill the gap in the literature about distributional impacts (who wins and who loses) of implementing new management plans for non-market priced environmental goods and services. The focus is on whether and to what extent, age, gender, presence of large carnivores and income affect willingness-to-pay (WTP) for increasing large carnivore stocks in Sweden. Our results contradict findings from previous studies on large carnivores in the sense that patterns change when different distributional dimensions are analysed together. The results indicate that WTP is independent of the presence of large carnivores, except for the group 'young men'. In general, young men are found to be a disparate group.non-market valuation, large carnivores, distributional effects, equity,

“…Some empirical studies highlighted the importance of involving women in diverse programmes and projects such as afforestation to combat desertification (Medugu et al 2010); others focused on institutional issues such as the influence of gender in the formation of forestry-related values in ecosystem goods and services (Farreras et al 2005). Still others proposed strategies to enhance gender mainstreaming in forestry agencies (Gurung 2002).…”
