Consequently, the impact of a direct or indirect public transfer on the amount of private transfers received depends on the elasticity of the donor's demand for the services provided by the recipient.
It is also worthwhile to mention that the growing demand for the services provided by the genetic pool of soil biota (e.g., from pharmaceutical industry) might lead to extraction of some soil material locally.
Such a system would allow for modelling interactions between the activity of PHCCs and FHUs located in the same area - for instance, it could be tested the impact in the whole system of moving unregistered patients from a PHCC to GP lists from another FHU; and the impact of converting one PHCC into several FHUs when demand for the services provided in these units is jointly modelled.
Assume, for example, that the demands for transport services provided by firms 1 and 2 in equilibrium are represented by X 1 * and X 2 *, respectively.
To meet the increasing demands for ecosystem services provided by forests - in particular the many provisioning services of forests as many people heavily rely on forests for livelihoods and products such as timber, medicines, thatch, fiber and meat [ 1] - large-scale (passive or active) forest restoration is probably the only solution that will be effective in the long term [ 28- 30].
The supply of pollination is mostly studied at the landscape scale while recent studies on the demand for pollination services provide a global-scale picture based on aggregate national-level data.

Information of this kind is intended to help decision makers to develop a response to the expected rising demand for health and social services provided at home and the EC has consequently funded the EURHOMAP study ('Mapping professional home care in Europe' [ 6]), which is implemented by an international consortium of nine institutes from nine European countries.
