Abstract
Die Determinanten für die Teilnahmebereitschaft an Vertragsnaturschutzprogrammen in den beiden schleswig- holsteinischen Grünlandregionen Eiderstedt und Südtondern werden mit einem Discrete-Choice-Experiment ermittelt. Wie erwartet, wirken eine erhöhte Ausgleichszahlung positiv und höhere Auflagen negativ auf die Wahrscheinlichkeit, einen Vertrag zu wählen. Neben vertragsspezifischen werden eine Vielzahl betriebsindividueller Determinanten der Vertragswahl identifiziert. Betriebe, die bereits an Naturschutzprogrammen teilnehmen, wählen mit einer höheren Wahrscheinlichkeit einen Vertrag. Die aus den Determinanten bestimmte marginale Willingness to Accept zeigt, dass gerade Vertragseigenschaften, wie Düngungs- oder Mahdauflagen, hohe Kompensationen im Bereich von über 100 bis 200 Euro/ha erfordern. Intensiv wirtschaftende Betriebe – gekennzeichnet durch z.B. hohe Viehdichte oder geringen Dauerweideanteil – verlangen höhere Kompensationszahlungen als andere Betriebe. This paper uses data from a discrete choice experiment to investigate the factors affecting participation in agri-environmental schemes in Eiderstedt and Südtondern, two grassland regions in Schleswig- Holstein. As expected, higher payment rates increase farmers’ willingness to sign a conservation contract * Uwe Latacz-Lohmann is also Adjunct Professor in Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Western Australia. whereas stricter management prescriptions reduce participation. Besides contract design variables, a number of farm-specific variables affect farmers’ willingness to participate. Farmers, for instance, with previous experience in agri-environmental contracting are more likely to choose a contract than those without such experience. Our estimates of marginal willingness-to-accept show that farmers regard contractual obligations relating to fertilizer use and mowing dates as particularly demanding, resulting in high compensation requirements of €100 - 200 per hectare. Farms with high land use intensities – e.g. high stocking rates or low shares of permanent pasture – request higher compensation payments than less intensive farms.
