Project code: TI-WF-08-PID1712
Contract period: 01.11.2015 - 31.01.2016
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment

The economic valuation of non-market goods provided by forests is an important though small issue in the field of environmental economics. Still, some cadre of valuation studies has accumulated in the German speaking countries since about 1990. How can this pool become better available for a national as well as an international public? In order to make the available studies better accessible both nationally and internationally, several small projects gather all available valuation studies in a meta-database. Ultimately, the database will be expanded to a pan-European data source. So far, the existing studies from the German language area (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) are completely covered until 2006; at the moment the database contains 54 data sets from these countries which are described by 46 variables each.
