AI Article Synopsis
- The paper focuses on understanding the benefits of recreational ecosystem services (RES) in Germany, highlighting the increase in interest but limited insights at larger scales beyond local communities.
- It employs a model to analyze the supply and demand of RES, revealing specific areas with strong or weak matches between user preferences and available services, especially around population centers.
- The findings provide valuable information for planning and decision-making, suggesting better approaches for destination management, landscape development, and investments in RES across various levels of governance.*
Article Abstract
While policy interest and research on recreational ecosystem services (RES) has increased substantially, insights into the actual flows of benefits to people have remained scarce, especially at levels beyond local communities. This paper aims to model RES Flows and Benefits for Germany in monetary and non-monetary terms. We use Germany as a case study due its diversity of landscapes and availability of relevant spatial and empirical data. We develop and apply an assessment approach that considers RES Demand and Supply based on user preferences. Our results show distinct demand-supply matches and mismatches, for example in southwest Germany, and highest flows near population centres. Monetary benefits are highest in counties with high RES Supply that are close to densely populated areas. Our results can usefully inform planning and decision-making, for example to improve and further justify destination management, landscape development, and investments in RES at local, regional, and national levels.

The impact of multidimensional poverty on antenatal care service utilisation in Malawi.
Health Econ Rev
January 2025
Economics Department, University of Malawi, P.O. box 280, Zomba, Malawi.
Background: Poverty remains a key barrier to accessing essential maternal health services, particularly in low- and middle-income countries like Malawi. Despite the recognised importance of antenatal care (ANC) in ensuring healthy pregnancies as well as improving maternal and child health outcomes, ANC services remain underutilised by many women living in poverty. This underutilisation is not solely driven by a lack of financial resources but also by a range of non-monetary factors that constitute multidimensional poverty, such as limited access to education, healthcare services, and infrastructure.

Background: There is a shortage of health workers in Ethiopia, with an uneven distribution between urban and rural areas. To formulate effective policy interventions aimed at attracting and retaining health workers in rural regions, this study examined the stated preferences of health workers when selecting health jobs.
Methods: A discrete choice experiment was conducted among health workers in the Aari and South Omo zones of the South Ethiopia region, from September to November 2022 to gather insights into their job preferences.
