“…Par conséquent, selon nos estimations, le revenu d'un individu n'a pas d'influence sur le nombre de visites qu'il effectue. Ce résultat, bien que paraissant relativement surprenant, a cependant été constaté aussi dans d'autres études sur l'usage récréatif de l'environnement, dans des contextes semblables (Chakraborty et Keith, 2000 ;Curtis, 2002 ; pour les études en Suisse, Buchli et al op. cit.…”

“…Since the on-site survey excludes non-users, the number of trips must be a non-negative integer. The Poisson model makes count data estimators more reflective of the data and improves estimation efficiency, which is increasingly used to estimate travel cost [38][39][40].…”

Many arable land areas have been converted to residential or business uses by Taiwan government authorities, because the low farmland value is associated with the low value of agricultural products. However, agriculture is multifunctional. This study investigates farmland value through Total Economic Value (TEV) for Tianwei Township, which is Taiwan's largest floral farmland region. Direct use value measures the floral products' output value and recreational benefit. Recreational benefit from visitors' flower sightseeing was measured by the travel cost method (TCM). Option value and non-use value, including bequest value and existence value, measure the residents' willingness to pay through the double-bounded dichotomous contingent valuation method (CVM). The results show that the total floral products' output is NT$1.441 billion in 2007, recreational benefit is roughly NT$17.757 billion. The intangible value of option value and non-use values are approximately between NT$5 million to 15 million. Therefore, ignoring various values of farmland might lead to an underestimation of farmland value.

“…CTvi and CTei were quantified using one-third of individuals wage rate following Bocksteal et al (1987) and Chakraborty and Keith (2000). The log-likelihood estimation of the truncated Poisson regression of the on-day site demand equation provided the regression coefficients with which in addition to the covariate parameters means, the on-day site recreation demand was determined.…”

Integrating Green Fiscal Reforms into the Agricultural Transformation Agenda: Panacea for Boosting Soil Enrichment and Water Conservation for Sustainable Food Production in Nigeria

Nigeria had a booming agricultural industry and prominent world market shares in many of its commodities at independence. With the continuous decline in these, the Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA) has been floated to promote twelve commodities in production along their value chains. Various innovations and expected benefits feature in the programme. The cultivation methods and other activities within the nodes of the value chains do not however specify green growth strategy promoted by green fiscal reform policies. This implies the shortchanging of green growth strategy in the national development process and so the compromising of sustainability. This paper valued the environmental services loss resulting from deforestation associated with "slash and burn" arable crop expansion and the benefits of "green grabbing" -the deliberate appropriation of nature in the ATA. The profitability of food crop production with and without green fiscal reform policies integration was also assessed. Sampling procedures that included the stratified, simple random and purposive sampling were used at various stages depending on the objective. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaire. The analytical tools adopted were the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) of the referendum type, on-day site travel cost method and the budgetary analysis. Results showed that 66.37% forest land use changes occurred in a seven year periods for arable food crops expansion. The environmental services loss as depicted by the Willingness To Pay (WTP) was averagely N0.60billion/year. The stock recreation value derived from "green grabbing" for the same period with 5% of the Nigerian population of 150 million visiting the Obudu Mountain Resort (OMR) for recreational purposes considered was N4.41 x 1012 million. The recreation use benefits of the OMR based on the Marshalian consumer surplus computation was slightly higher for the same period. Profitability in food crop production without green fiscal reforms was higher as compared to when it was considered. This will encourage the food crop farmers to engage in actions that are inimical to environmental sustainability in the ATA. Sustainability of farming livelihood is therefore more likely to be ensured with green fiscal reform policy instruments integrated into the ATA. The ATA therefore cannot be sustainable under the current "business as usual" practice of "slash and burn" agriculture. The need to integrate green fiscal reform policies into the agenda therefore is urgent.
