    • Are non-monetary payment modes more uncertain for stated preference elicitation in developing countries? 

      Vondolia, Godwin Kofi; Navrud, Ståle (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-09)
      An increasing number of stated preference studies adopt both monetary and non-monetary payment modes to elicit preferences for goods and services in developing and transition countries. The extent to which these alternative payment modes approximate the underlying human preferences for these goods and services is poorly understood. The circumstances under which monetary and non-monetary welfare ...

    • Expert Assessment of Risks Posed by Climate Change and Anthropogenic Activities to Ecosystem Services in the Deep North Atlantic 

      Armstrong, Claire W.; Vondolia, Godwin Kofi; Foley, Naomi; Henry, Lea-Anne; Needham, Katherine; Ressurreição, Adriana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-24)
      Sustainable development of the ocean is a central policy objective in Europe through the Blue Growth Strategy and globally through parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. Achieving sustainable exploitation of deep sea resources is challenged due to the huge uncertainty around the many risks posed by human activities on these remote ecosystems and the goods and services they provide. We ...

    • The Fisheries Sector in Ghana: A Political Economy Analysis 

      Eriksen, Stein Sundstøl; Akpalu, Wisdom; Vondolia, Godwin Kofi (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018-12-04)
      The fishery sector of Ghana is beset with problems, including widespread illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.This report analyses the political economy of fisheries in Ghana, focusing on the power and interests of key actors in the sector and the constraints and opportunities faced by the government in addressing the existing challenges. There are three main challenges facing the sector. ...

    • Subjective well-being and stated preferences: Explorations from a choice experiment in Norway 

      Vondolia, Godwin Kofi; Hynes, Stephen; Armstrong, Claire W.; Chen, Wenting (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-01)
      Subjective well-being valuation has recently grown in use with applications in the fields of environment, health, and cultural heritage. With this methodology values are based on how non-market goods impact on self-reported measures of well-being such as life satisfaction. Despite the differences in theoretical foundations of subjective well-being and preference-based valuation methods, recent ...

    • Use and non-use values in an applied bioeconomic model of fisheries and habitat connections 

      Armstrong, Claire W.; Vondolia, Godwin Kofi; Aanesen, Margrethe; Kahui, Viktoria; Czajkowski, Mikolaj (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-25)
      In addition to indirect support to fisheries, marine habitats also provide non-use benefits often overlooked in most bioeconomic models. We expand a dynamic bioeconomic fisheries model where presence of natural habitats reduces fishing cost via aggregation effects and provides non-use benefits. The theoretical model is illustrated with an application to cold-water corals in Norway where two fishing ...

    • Valuing coastal recreation and the visual intrusion from commercial activities in Arctic Norway 

      Aanesen, Margrethe; Falk-Andersson, Jannike; Vondolia, Godwin Kofi; Borch, Trude; Navrud, Ståle; Tinch, Dugald (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-04)
      The coastal zone in the Arctic is being extensively used for recreational activities. Simultaneously, there is an increasing pressure from commercial activities. We present results from a discrete choice experiment implemented in Arctic Norway, revealing how households in this region make trade-offs between recreational activities and commercial developments in the coastal zone. Our results show ...

    • Valuing the ecosystem service benefits from kelp forest restoration: A choice experiment from Norway 

      Hynes, Stephen; Chen, Wenting; Vondolia, Godwin Kofi; Armstrong, Claire W.; O'Connor, Eamonn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-08)
      Habitat loss and degradation are recognised as the most important causes of species decline and extinction in marine ecosystems. It is also widely recognised that a range of restoration actions are now essential to halt further decline. From a policy perspective, demonstration that restoration activity is in the interest of society is an important goal. In this paper, the welfare impacts of restoring ...
