Abstract

Research on payments for ecosystem services (PES) has become a growing field, but evidence on the congruence between ES demand and ES supply is insufficient. This study linked ES demand (voter preferences for public goods) and ES supply (public good provision through government-financed PES) to compare the observed and a preference-based budget allocation in a rural German region (Brandenburg). The results from a stated choice experiment among regional voters and a Delphi study on the effectiveness of PES were linked through an optimization approach minimizing the deviation between voter preferences and the model budget allocation.
