“…Worldwide there have been a few studies using non-market evaluation techniques to evaluate single services, such as biodiversity services (e.g. [18] ) and only one study that employed a choice experiment to assess multiple ecosystem services [19] . No study, to the authors' knowledge, has assessed willingness-to-pay specifically for services delivered by Indigenous people.…”

The Economic Value of Environmental Services on Indigenous-Held Lands in Australia

Australians could be willing to pay from $878m to $2b per year for Indigenous people to provide environmental services. This is up to 50 times the amount currently invested by government. This result was derived from a nationwide survey that included a choice experiment in which 70% of the 927 respondents were willing to contribute to a conservation fund that directly pays Indigenous people to carry out conservation activities. Of these the highest values were found for benefits that are likely to improve biodiversity outcomes, carbon emission reductions and improved recreational values. Of the activities that could be undertaken to provide the services, feral animal control attracted the highest level of support followed by coastal surveillance, weed control and fire management. Respondents' decisions to pay were not greatly influenced by the additional social benefits that can arise for Indigenous people spending time on country and providing the services, although there was approval for reduced welfare payments that might arise.

“…In the agricultural and resource economics literature, the DCE methodology has been used to analyze consumer preferences for environmental amenities (Bell, Shah, & Ward, 2014;Bennett & Blamey, 2001;Birol & Das, 2010, 2012Selassie & Kountouris, 2010), ecosystem services (Hurd, 2006;Villalobos & Huenchuleo, 2010), food quality attributes (Lim & Hu, 2016, Yin et al, 2018Lusk & Schroeder, 2004;Ortega, Wang, Wu, & Olynk, 2011), conservation agriculture (Ward, Bell, Parkhurst, Droppelmann, & Mapemba, 2015a), electricity service (Sagebiel, 2011), and new or improved production technologies (Arora, Bansal, & Ward, 2019;Ward & Singh, 2015b;Ward, Ortega, Spielman, & Singh, 2014).…”

Labor-saving and income-increasing technologies may affect women farmers differently from men. However, very few studies explicitly account for women's preferences for new technologies. We carried out a discrete choice experiment with 337 female and 329 male farmers in Maharashtra, India, to measure their willingness to pay (WTP) for direct-seeded rice (DSR) with drum seeder and to understand the gender differences in marginal valuations of key attributes. We used the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) to collect self-reported data on the role and say of women in different domains of decision making. The respective gender roles of women and men in the family and on the farm are aligned with their preferences. Men have a greater say over how the family spends the cash. Accordingly, men tend to have a higher WTP for attributes that increase income (increase in yield) or reduce cash costs (reduction in seed rate). Women contribute a large share of the labor for transplanting rice, much of which is unpaid work on family farms. Women, therefore, seem to value labor saving more. Women in our sample were more interested in the new technology and had a higher WTP for it.

Cependant, très peu d'études prennent explicitement en considération les préférences des femmes pour les nouvelles technologies. Nous avons mené une expérience de choix discret avec 337 paysannes et 329 paysans dans le Maharashtra, en Inde, afin de mesurer leur consentement à payer pour le riz en semis direct (RSD) avec semoir à tambour et de comprendre les différences entre les sexes dans les évaluations marginales d'attributs clés. Nous avons utilisé l'indice d'autonomisation des femmes en agriculture (IAFA) pour collecter des données autodéclarées sur le rôle des femmes dans différents domaines de la prise de décision. Les rôles de genre respectifs des femmes et des hommes dans la famille et à la ferme correspondent à leurs préférences. Les hommes ont davantage leur mot à dire sur la façon dont la famille dépense l'argent. En conséquence, les hommes ont tendance à avoir un CAP supérieur pour les attributs qui augmentent le revenu (augmentation du rendement) ou réduisent les coûts décaissés (réduction du taux de mise en culture). Les femmes fournissent une grande partie de la main-d'oeuvre nécessaire à la transplantation du riz, principalement du travail non rémunéré sur des Cand J Agr Econ. 2019;67:303-320.

“…However, the climatic environment on the western oriented hillsides of the coastal range allows the growth of the Maulino coastal forest, which consists of two deciduous species of the Nothofagus genus (San Martín & Sepulveda, 2002). The Nothofagus genus is part of the Fagacea family and includes 40 species only located in the south of the equator (Villalobos & Huenchuleo-Pedreros, 2010). Almost all Nothofagus species are found in forests between latitudes 33°S and 55.5°S in central and southern Chile (San Martín & Sepulveda, 2002;.…”

“…Nothofagus alessandrii is a special case hereafter referred to as ruil, the endemic species stems from central Chile, defined as "Critically Endangered" (CR) by the Red List conservation status (IUCN, 2001;Villalobos & Huenchuleo-Pedreros, 2010). From the late 19 th centuria, ruil and the Maulino coastal forest were destroyed and fractured, and today the ruil forest is threatened by tree monocultures consisting mostly of fast-growing exotic species (e.g., Pinus radiata; Donoso et al, 2004;Villalobos & Huenchuleo-Pedreros, 2010).…”

“…These hectares of ruil are not a continuous mass of forest; on the contrary, they are distributed or located within fragments of Maulino coastal forest. These fragments of Maulino coastal forest containing ruil total 1,223 hectares (CONAF, 2013) are circled by plantations of Pinus radiata, making the ruil the species with the most high extinction risk in Chile (Olivares et al, 2005;Villalobos & Huenchuleo-Pedreros, 2010;Santelices et al, 2011;Santelices et al, 2012b;.…”
