Abstract: | This paper contributes with an applied policy analysis of the predator preservation policy of Sweden. The overall mean willingness to pay (WTP)is estimated for preserving the four large predators of the Swedish fauna by applying the contingent valuation method. Based on survey data from 2004, it is found among others that 50 percent of the Swedish population is willing to contribute financially toward implementation of the predator policy package, and that the estimated overall mean WTP is around SEK 290. |
