Abstract

Varios servicios y bienes ambientales (v.g. áreas verdes) no se comercializan en mercados formales, con consecuencias importantes en politicas públicas y la toma de decisiones privadas. Este estudio permite valorar las áreas verdes de la ciudad de La Paz, Bolivia, en base a una evaluación empírica del impacto de áreas verdes en el precio de las viviendas, período 2015. Se usa un método indirecto de valoración ambiental, denominado 'Modelo de Precios Hedónicos', que se basa en determinar el efecto -en los precios de la vivienda- de variables como 'unidades de espacios verdes', 'estructura habitacional', 'ubicación', entre otros, lo que finalmente permite dar valor económico a las áreas verdes de la ciudad. Los resultados revelan un incremento del 100% en la variable determinante 'unidades de vegetación de área verde', eleva el precio por metro cuadrado de la vivienda, en 7,04. También un incremento del 100% en la característica 'distancia entre área verde y vivienda', ocasionaría una disminución del precio unitario de la vivienda, en 6.80 %. La Disposición a pagar anual, por la conservación de áreas verdes, por m2 de vivienda, fue de US $. 134.02
