Title: | Combining observed and contingent travel behaviour: the best of both worlds? | Authors: | Cruz, Luís Simões, Paula Barata, Eduardo |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra | Abstract: | Os recursos naturais oferecem uma
ampla gama de benefícios para a
sociedade. Mas muitos destes recursos
podem ser irremediavelmente perdidos.
Considerando que os esforços de
proteção ambiental envolvem custos de
oportunidade, a avaliação económica é
essencial para permitir aos decisores
conhecer os benefícios líquidos das suas
decisões, principalmente no caso de
benefícios não incorporados nos preços
de mercado.
A literatura sobre a avaliação ambiental
tem permitido desenvolvimentos
significativos. Incidindo sobre os métodos
utilizados para avaliar os benefícios
relacionados com o uso recreativo de
áreas naturais, este trabalho explora o
potencial de combinar abordagens com
base em preferências reveladas e
declaradas. Conclui‑se
que esta opção
impõe esforços adicionais que no entanto
serão compensados pela possibilidade de
tirar proveito do melhor destes dois
mundos. Les ressources naturelles offrent une vaste gamme d'avantages pour la société. Mais beaucoup de ces ressources peuvent être perdus si des mesures actives ne sont pas adoptées. Considérant que la protection de l'environnement entraîne des coûts d'opportunité, l'évaluation économique est essentielle pour informer les décideurs sur les avantages nets de stratégies alternatives, surtout s'ils ne sont pas correctement reflétés dans les prix du marché. La littérature sur l'évaluation environnementale a été prolifère et développements significatifs ont été atteints. Mettre l'accent sur les méthodes utilisées pour évaluer les avantages liés à l'utilisation récréative des espaces naturels, cet article explore la complémentarité des approches fondées sur techniques de préférences révélées et énoncées. Nous concluons que rassembler le meilleur de ces deux mondes impose des efforts supplémentaires qui valent la peine. Natural resources offer a wide range of benefits to society. But many of these resources can be irrevocably lost if active measures are not adopted. Considering that environmental protection endeavours involve opportunity costs, economic valuation is essential to inform policymakers about the full net benefits of alternative measures, mainly if they are not properly reflected in market prices. The literature on environmental valuation has been proliferating and significant developments have been achieved. Focusing on the methods used to evaluate the benefits related to the recreational use of natural areas, this paper explores the potential complementarity of approaches based on combined revealed and stated preferences techniques. We conclude that putting together the best of these both worlds imposes additional efforts that are worthwhile. |
