Methodological Guide to Choice Modelling: Example of the Codru Quest Project
Economic valuation of ecosystem services is gaining increasing attention from both researchers and policy-makers as a useful tool for estimating and demonstrating the importance and true value of natural ecosystems and biodiversity. One of the economic valuation techniques, choice modelling, is especially effective in eliciting those values of ecosystems that are not traded on real markets and hence are not immediately visible to decision makers influencing the management of natural resources and ecosystems. This guide presents you the methodology of economic valuation with choice modelling technique on the practical example of the Codru Quest project implemented by the organization MEGA in 2016 – 2017. The guide describes how to prepare for the research work, design the choice modelling survey, test and improve it, gather and analyse data from respondents, and present the results to stakeholders. The detailed explanation of the choice modelling technique will help you to understand what to do, why to do it, and how to do it; and the example of the Codru Quest project will allow you to visualize the entire process of an economic valuation study and every step of it.

My name is Alexandr Iscenco, but I am also known as Shurik the Creator. I am an environmental researcher, professional trainer, and business consultant, who empowers people to create and enjoy a sustainable future.

As an author, I write poems, short stories, and science fiction novels. The dominant topic of my works is the nature and its interrelations with humans. So far, I have written more than 170 poems. Some of them are published in my first book “The Thoughts: The World of My Heart and Soul”, along with two short stories: “The Black Hole” and “Road to Happiness”. I also share some of my poems on the blog "The Thoughts" at http://ischenco-thoughts.blogspot.md.
My largest and most bestselling book so far is the novel "The Monster: Blade of Darkness" (www.themonster.info). It represents the first part of "The Monster" trilogy, in which I reflect on possible relations between people and the natural environment in the future.
