Corporate Preferences for Biodiversity Investment: Evidence From a Discrete Choice Experiment Among Medium and Large European Firms
The deepening biodiversity crisis has turned attention to the role of private capital in conservation finance, as policymakers seek scalable solutions beyond public funding. Yet, empirical insights into corporate decision‐making on biodiversity investment remain limited, even though understanding such microlevel behavior helps inform the design of more effective biodiversity policies and investment mechanisms. We conduct a discrete choice experim…
Distribution of forest-based innovations across Europe
Geographical probability of innovation development for Europe’s forests has been produced. • Results are generated by combining survey and machine learning. • Place-based factors of forests are highly explanatory of innovation development. • Wood-focused innovation tend to develop in economically viable forests. • Innovations focused on regulating ecosystems tend to develop in forests that are not economically viable. Vast majority of forestry re…
Investigating the alignment between stated motivations and revealed preferences for recreational hunting through a hedonic analysis of hunting leases
Existing theory proposes that motivation for recreational hunting is divided into domains of appreciation (nature experience), affiliation (social interaction), and achievement (hunting skills and yield outcome). As motives are known to impact public attitudes toward hunting, potential response biases might emerge when hunters self-report their own motivations. Analyzing data from 2,260 hunting leases in a hedonic model, we explore the alignment …
Governing Europe's forests for multiple ecosystem services: Opportunities, challenges, and policy options
Europe's forest provide multiple ecosystem services for societies, ranging from provisioning (e.g. wood) and regulating (e.g. climate mitigation and biodiversity) to cultural (e.g. recreation) services. In this paper, we assess the state and prospects of forest ecosystem services provision in Europe, introducing new data from the European collaborative research projects SINCERE, NOBEL and CLEARING HOUSE, and combining it with findings from the li…
Who demands peri-urban nature? A second stage hedonic house price estimation of household’s preference for peri-urban nature
The Effect of Gain-loss Framing on Climate Policy Preferences
Two decades of forest-related legislation changes in European countries analysed from a property rights perspective
In the last two decades, attention on forests and ownership rights has increased in different domains of international policy, particularly in relation to achieving the global sustainable development goals. This paper looks at the changes in forest-specific legislation applicable to regular productive forests, across 28 European countries. We compare the legal framework applicable in the mid-1990s with that applicable in 2015, using the Property …
Support for Transnational Conservation in a Gain-Loss Context
Factors Affecting Support for Transnational Conservation Targeting Migratory Species
Afforestation as a real option with joint production of environmental services
Urban-rural divides in preferences for wetland conservation in Malaysia
We examined the preferences for wetland conservation among urban and rural dwellers in Malaysia. A choice experiment using face-to-face interviews with urban and rural households was employed. Wetland conservation alternatives were described in terms of environmental protection zones, biodiversity protection, recreational services and flood. Each alternative was connected to a cost for the household, which was a reduction in subsidies for daily g…
Disentangling Distance and Country Effects on the Value of Conservation across National Borders
How private are Europe’s private forests? A comparative property rights analysis
Private forests are widespread in Europe providing a range of ecosystem services of significant value to society, and there are calls for novel policies to enhance their provision and to face the challenges of environmental changes. Such policies need to acknowledge the importance of private forests, and importantly they need to be based on a deep understanding of how property rights held by private forest owners vary across Europe. We collected …

Shades of green: A social scientific view on bioeconomy in the forest sector
Politics increasingly introduces initiatives supporting a shift toward a bioeconomy aiming at a society relying strongly on renewable biological sources while achieving economic growth efficiently and sustainably. However, the agenda of bioeconomy comprises different “shades of green,” in the sense that different actors stress different aspects of the concept, when embracing it in communication. This conceptual paper aims to present policy and so…

A Bureaucrat's Procurement Strategy: Budget Constraints and Rationing
We investigate a bureaucratic principal responsible for the procurement of goods and services from private agents. The bureaucrat is evaluated on output and controlled by a limited budget. The agents maximize profit, have private information about variable production costs, and have positive outside options which are lost upon acceptance of a procurement contract. The setting is relevant for, e.g. governmental agencies. We show how this setup mak…
