Descrição/Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the use of benefit transfer as methodology for measuring baseline and marginal value (loss) estimates of agro-ecosystem non-market goods and services. The benefit transfer methodology is used to estimate the agro-ecosystem non-market goods and services values in Kern County, California. We conclude by suggesting that some estimate of the value of the non-market good and services provided by agro-ecosystem functions is important to the determination of either public policy prescriptions or market-based incentive programs that have as their objective maintaining or increasing those agro-ecosystem function non-market goods and services.
