Project code: 243950
Contract period: 01.12.2009 - 30.11.2013
Budget: 2,710,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research

Many forest goods and services are not marketed. Methods for assessing these values are incomplete, and so is an understanding of who benefits from them. Forest owners are not rewarded for the value of these externalities and may make decisions providing less externalities than optimal. We can increase welfare, if we develop ways to enhance their provision.
