| Abstract: | This article estimates the costs of producing biological diversity on Swedish permanent grasslands. Based on the two areas in different parts of Sweden are investigated and BoxCox transformations, which provide flexible functional forms, are used in the empirical analysis. It is indicates that the biodiversity production costs differ between the regions. The major contribution of this paper is that it develops and tests a method of estimating biodiversity production costs on permanent pastures when biodiversity quality differs between pastures. |
