Forest Figures: Ecosystem Services Valuation and Policy Evaluation in Developing Countries (2012, background): “However, direct-use methods do not necessarily reveal preferences; that is, an individual s WTP to maintain the service or that individual s willingness to accept (WTA) to forgo it (Bockstael et al. 2000).”
Assessing benefit transfer for the valuation of ecosystem services (2009, background): “It must be evaluated in the context of specific biophysical and human characteristics (Bockstael et al. 2000).”
Transferring environmental value estimates: Issues and alternatives (2006, background): “That some calculations of an annual value for the Earth's primary ecosystems exceed the income available to pay such an amount violates income constraints ( Bockstael et al., 2000 ).”
Economic valuation of a seed dispersal service in the Stockholm National Urban Park, Sweden (2006, methodology): “However, the method still results in valid estimates of economic values if the following three conditions are met (Shabman and Batie, 1978; Bockstael et al., 2000; Freeman, 2003): 1.”
The Long-Run Discount Rate Controversy (2014, background): “Valuing the contribution of ecosystem services to well-being is notoriously difficult (Bockstael et al. 2000, Costanza et al. 1997, Kling et al. 2012) but the contribution of health improvements is more amenable to quantification.”
Weighting in LCA Based on Ecotaxes - Development of a Mid-point Method and Experiences from Case Studies (2006, methodology): “Methods based on willingness-to-pay measure an 'economic value' (Bockstael et al. 2000).”
Comparing Ecosystem Goods and Services Provided by Restored and Native Lands (2008, background): “…from restoration for some period after the restoration begins, but many political frameworks do not allow substantially more than a decade for most projects (although examples of longer restoration time frames exist, such as the Chesapeake Bay eutrophication abatement program; Boesch et al. 2001).”
Ecosystem services as technology of globalization: On articulating values in urban nature (2013, background): “They were also provided on any given scale, from the local, which were the most common, to the global, where nothing less than the ‘economic value’ of the entire bio-productive capacity of the world was heroically (and controversially; see e.g. Sagoff, 1997; Nature, 1998; Bockstael et al., 2000; WST”
Confronting unfamiliarity with ecosystem functions: The case for an ecosystem service approach to environmental valuation with stated preference methods (2008, methodology): “For replacement cost calculations, Bockstael et al. (2000) require compliance with three seldom met conditions: (i) the replacement system provides functions that are quantitatively and qualitatively equivalent to the original ecosystem functions, (ii) the investigated replacement system is the…”
Integrating Ecology and Economics in the Study of Ecosystem Services: Some Lessons Learned (2009, background): “Bockstael et al. (2000), Pearce (1998), and Toman (1998), among others, have pointed out serious problems with this approach.”
The Monetary Benefit of Early Flood Warnings in Europe (2015, unknown): “Estimating the economic value of a forecasting system as a whole is far more complicated (Benson and Clay, 2004; Bockstael et al., 2000; Merz et al., 2010; Parker, 2003) as it depends on: the starting point (e.g. what type of forecasting system already exists); the spatial and temporal dimensions…”
Centuries of human-driven change in salt marsh ecosystems. (2009, background): “Please see Costanza et al. (1997) for valuation methods and note that this valuation method is not universally accepted by economists, see Bockstael et al. (2000). feed in salt marshes, where recreational hunters and birdwatchers follow their movements (UNEP 2006).”
