Description
As the environment becomes more and more of a superior good, we must find ways to maximize the benefits from the environmental good we still have. Through the use of the non-market valuation method of a choice experiment, the value of a nearby restored grassland to a citizen of Illinois was analyzed. Combining grassland valuation data with local land values and population density data we are able to properly identify the optimal locations to place the restored grasslands.
