National Accounting and the Valuation of Ecosystem Assets and Their Services (2015, background): “A range of approaches exists for valuing natural resources and ecosystem services (e.g. Brander et al. 2005; Brouwer et al. 2009; Bateman et al. 2011).”
The Economic Valuation of Environmental Amenities and Disamenities: Methods and Applications (2009, background): “In part due to their rapid depletion in industrialized and, increasingly, developing countries by conversion to agricultural and urban use, they have been the focus of many economic valuation studies, summarized in a recent metaanalysis (123).”
Estimating global damages from sea level rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM) (2015, background): “Wetland value is based on annual willingness to pay for ecosystem services, increasing in income and population density per the wetland service valuation meta-analysis of Brander et al (2006).”
Using Meta-Analysis and GIS for Value Transfer and Scaling Up: Valuing Climate Change Induced Losses of European Wetlands (2012, methodology): “The meta-analytic value function can be used in a jack-knife or n − 1 data splitting exercise to predict the values found in the primary valuation literature and compute mean absolute percentage errors (e.g. Brander et al. 2006).”
The economic value of wetlands in developing countries: a meta-regression analysis (2016, methodology): “Following Woodward and Wui (2001), Brander et al. (2006) and Ghermandi et al. (2010), all wetland values were converted into a comparable measure using purchasing power indices and expressed in US$ 2002.”
Using a choice experiment to account for preference heterogeneity in wetland attributes: The case of Cheimaditida wetland in Greece (2006, background): “These ecological functions and services translate directly into economic functions and services such as flood protection, water supply, improved water quality, commercial and recreational fishing and hunting, and the mitigation of global climate change (Barbier et al., 1997; Woodward and Wui, 2001; ”
Progress and Challenges in Valuing Coastal and Marine Ecosystem Services (2012, background): “1For examples of such reviews applied to various CMEs, see Barbier et al. (2011), Brander et al. (2006), and Heal et al. (2005).”
A meta-analysis of contingent valuation forest studies (2010, methodology): “Broader meta-analyses have been conducted for other type of ecosystems, such as wetlands (Brander et al., 2006; Ghermandi et al., 2008), but as far as we know, no other international meta-analysis has been conducted yet for forest valuation.”
The Economic Value of Wetland Conservation and Creation: A Meta-Analysis (2008, positive): “Values were thus standardized to 2003 US$ per hectare per year, following Woodward and Wui (2001) and Brander et al. (2006).”
Modeling water scarcity and droughts for policy adaptation to climate change in arid and semiarid regions (2015, methodology): “…estimate the environmental benefit function, is approximated using the results from Del Saz and Perez (1999) on the recreation value of the Albufera wetland in 1995, and other studies from the literature that estimate non-recreation values of wetlands (Woodward and Wui, 2001; Brander et al., 2006).”
Values of natural and human‐made wetlands: A meta‐analysis (2010, methodology): “Also, values are sensitive to income effects and increase with the population living in the surrounding of a wetland [ Brander et al. , 2006].”
Assessing water ecosystem services for water resource management (2016, background): “…studies on ecosystem services valuation in water bodies to estimate a function that represents the relationship between the features of water ecosystems and the value of the services they provided (see Brander et al., 2006, 2007 for examples of metaanalysis for the valuation of ecosystem services).”
Functionality of restored mangroves: A review (2008, background): “(dependent on GNP of the country in question (Brander et al., 2006), site conditions and thus the effort in terms of labour”
The recreational value of coral reefs: A meta-analysis (2007, background): “This result is in contrast to the findings of Brander et al (2006), which finds that wetland valuation studies using CVM tend to produce higher value estimates.”
