Sažetak
Bear hunters pay for the bears as trophies, depending on their size and quality, and for other attributes surrounding the experience, such as the services provided by the hunting unit managers, the natural characteristics of the hunting ground and alike. A survey conducted in Croatia collected information on the costs incurred by bear hunters and the characteristics of the bears and hunting units. The costs are regressed against the characteristics, thus obtaining their implicit values. This paper presents this valuation exercise. Preliminary Hedonic results are based on a small sample, 30 observations only. The average price charge of a 300-point bear trophy hunted in Croatia in the last three years is circa 3000 euro. The average additional price charge for each CIC point is circa 20 euro. Full results will quantify the contribution of the relevant variables to the average price. Furthermore, the full dataset will be used to value non- market determinants, like environmental and recreational conditions.
