Economic
methodologies for valuing forest genetic resources
Peter

Abstract
Comprehensive valuation results
addressing private as well as public benefits of forest genetic
resources in Europe are generally still lacking today, although methods
for valuing such benefits (as well as applications in other areas) do
exist. This chapter therefore cannot present specific valuation
results. It describes methods which might be used to analyse the
economic benefits of forest genetic resources (FGR in the following),
and some problems associated with this analysis. To simplify matters,
it focuses on demand side valuation.
