under the assumption of a Gambel distribution
(McFadden, 1973; Ben-Akiva and
Lerman, 1985) for the underlying random
components. By using a maximum likelihood
procedure, we have estimated the recreation
value contributions Qvij and scaled them corresponding
to a monetary unit (SEK)1 as shown
in Table 1. Note that these estimates are
pseudo recreation values of each forest landscape
i if the whole forest landscape would
be dominated by a single stand type j. It can
be seen that A1 (the mature stand in the
forest landscape corresponding to the silvicultural
system ‘natural regeneration using
seed trees’) would provide the highest recreation
value and C2 (the newly cut/planting
phase in the silvicultural system ‘artificial
regeneration after clearcutting’) the lowest
recreation value. For landscape (B) (produced
by the ‘single tree selection’ system),
the recreation values of the different ‘stand
types’ do not differ very much, which was
