Abstrakty

Badania oceniające korzyści czerpane z ekosystemów są obecnie istotną częścią wszystkich badań poświęconych wycenie ekonomicznej. Zjawiskiem niepożądanym jest marginalizowanie czynnika czasu. W artykule skupiono uwagę na pasywnej jak i na aktywnej roli odgrywanej przez czynnik czasu w badaniach wyceny. Przedstawiono analizę dyskontowania, a w szczególności zwrócono uwagę na problem wyboru stopy dyskontowej(abstrakt oryginalny)

Thanks to economic valuation a lot of intriguing results was worked out and published enlarging our knowledge and understanding of non-market goods and services. Applying economic valuation methods researchers measured consumers' willingness to pay for many goods which do not have any market price. Category of non-market goods includes also environmental goods granted because of the existence and biological production of small and large ecosystems. Among economic valuation studies the most peculiar place belongs to complex studies focused on benefits stemming directly and indirectly from ecosystems. Unfortunately, time factor used to be marginalized in many valuation studies. This is why this article concentrates on a passive role and also on an active role played by time factor in economic valuation. The paper demands for clear information about the date of implementation of valuation method and also for a more advanced representation of time in valuation studies focused on natural capital. The paper proposes a brief analysis of discounting in general and discusses selection of the discount rate in particular(fragment of text)
