20 years of stated preference valuation of non-timber benefits from Fennoscandian forests: A meta-analysis
Stated preference (SP) surveys have been conducted to value non-timber benefits (NTBs) from forests in Norway, Sweden and Finland for about 20 years. The paper first reviews the literature and summarises methodological traditions in SP research in the three countries. Second, a meta-regression analy...
