Abstract

Where exclusion from a landscape feature is possible, access to it is marketable, and payments made may be applied to similar features. People also pay to belong to an organisation that supports landscape, or make voluntary donations to causes and campaigns with landscape objectives. They may pay a premium for goods linked to landscape maintenance. All these are affected by the free-rider problem. Obtaining warm glows is often invoked as the motivator, but the relationship to actual benefit delivered by landscape is questionable.
