| dc.description.abstract | Abstract The economic value of birds in the United States and Canada has been measured using 27 stated preference surveys. Consumer Surplus per person, per day (CS_PPPD) ranges from a low of $0.29 (2020$) to a high of $824.53 over 442 observations, with a mean of $56.74. A fixed-effects regression analysis of consumer surplus shows that variation in CS_PPPD can be explained by a variety of method, resource, and context attributes. This provides economic value to the anthropocentric value of bird watching, wildlife viewing (where birds are included), and the potential for Benefit-Transfer to climate change policy using the models developed and values found in this meta-analysis. | |
