Valoración contingente, análisis de equivalencia, incendios forestales, responsabilidad ambiental.Resumen
La legislación de varios países establece que cuando cierta actividad económica causa un determinado daño ambiental, el responsable debe reparar el medio hasta llevarlo de nuevo a su estado básico. Sin embargo, mientras este no se restablece completamente, los recursos o servicios que dejan de proveerse (daño temporal) deben también compensarse. El cálculo de esta compensación se realiza mediante los llamados análisis de equivalencia. En su versión valor-valor, el responsable debe realizar una mejora ambiental de valor social equivalente al del daño temporal que sufre la sociedad. Este artículo muestra un ejemplo de análisis de equivalencia valor-valor para un gran incendio forestal en España, con dos aplicaciones del método de valoración contingente. El resultado muestra que por cada hectárea de bosque quemado, el responsable debe restablecer dicha hectárea de bosque y proveer aproximadamente una tercera parte más para compensar en equivalencia el daño temporal.Descargas
