Experiments performed 118 small-scale rice-producing China, Colombia, Nepal...
Exposure to economic incentives such as payments for ecosystem services (PES) can change intrinsic motivations act pro-environmentally. These so-called crowding effects in PES have been shown affect pro-environmental behavior (PEB) of PES-receivers. It is, however, unclear if social norms toward PEB are also susceptible and how these changes could influence the larger population. We design implement a modified dictator game with Costa Rican oil palm smallholders test normative beliefs...

For example, payments for ecosystem services (PES) can have spillover via both pecuniary and behavioral channels. While most literature on spillovers from PES focusses those who receive payments, also change behavior non-participants affecting their fairness perceptions. In this study, we...

Payments for watershed services (PWS) aim incentivize provision by directly paying land users they provide Nevertheless, since often exhibit parochial behavior, question how frame who benefits ecosystem provided needs be addressed with caution.

The implementation of Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) raises concerns about the effects external economic incentives on intrinsic motivations. Their instrumental orientation could send an implicit signal that people have right to degrade unless they get paid not do so.
