Globally, much biodiversity is found on private land. Acting to conserve such thus requires the design of policies which influence decision-making farmers and foresters. In this paper, we outline economic characteristics problem, before reviewing a number policy options, as conservation auctions easements. We then discuss problems, need for spatial coordination choice between paying outcomes rather than actions, summarizing what evidence theory developed date tell us about those aspects...
The agglomeration bonus is an incentive mechanism to induce adjacent landowners spatially coordinate their land use for the delivery of ecosystem services from farmland. This paper uses laboratory experiments explore performance in achieving socially optimal management configuration a local network environment where information available subjects varies and strategic setting unfavorable efficient coordination. indicate that if are informed about both direct indirect neighbors' actions, they...
Abstract This paper provides a selective overview of the linkages and complementary topics in behavioral economics agricultural adoption literatures. The goal is to identify likely directions for future research at intersection adoption. agenda has potential providing valuable insight policymakers, researchers, stakeholders agriculture beyond.
The Agglomeration Bonus is a Payment for Ecosystem Services scheme that focuses on achieving spatially‐coordinated land use across neighboring, privately‐owned agricultural properties. In this article, I laboratory experiment to examine the role of two mechanisms in incentivizing uses under geographical landscape resembling local circular network. first mechanism pecuniary format and varies payoffs associated with coordination, while second non‐pecuniary amount information participants have...
Abstract How best to incentivize land managers achieve conservation goals in an economically and ecologically effective manner is a key policy question that has gained increased relevance from the setting of ambitious new global targets for biodiversity conservation. Conservation (reverse) auctions are tool improving environmental performance agriculture, which become well‐established academic literature making US Australia. However, little known about likely response farmers incentives...
Spatial coordination of land use change is pivotal in agri-environmental policy to improve the delivery environmental goods. This paper implements a laboratory experiment study spatial conservation auction. In addition letting individual producers bid competitively against each other supply goods, we ask whether opportunities for joint bidding can enhance auction cost-effectively. Auction performance depends on nature incentives bids; particular, an agglomeration bonus offered bids. With...
Abstract Existing research emphasizes the sensitivity of conservation auction performance and bidder behavior to design choices, as these auctions are not incentive compatible, meaning rent seeking must be controlled. Procuring agencies decide how provide bidders with information about environmental quality different practices manage trade‐off between an increased probability selecting optimal practice rent‐seeking associated this information. We use induced‐value laboratory experiment...
Abstract As with many academic fields in the United States, white male faculty have historically been norm agricultural and applied economics profession, but demographics field started to shift over past several decades. This paper presents descriptive evidence of current historical status underrepresented underserved groups our including women racial ethnic minorities all genders. It also provides a snapshot perceptions departmental climate, data on incidents harassment discrimination...
The cost-effectiveness of auction mechanisms is challenged when complementarities exist between bids. Such frequently in the context conservation, and they can be magnified conservation targeted particular locations on landscape (e.g., migratory corridors or storm-peak mitigation). We use a laboratory experiment to test several hypotheses about how access benefit information bidder communication (which facilitate both coordination rent-seeking), affect behavior performance spatial...
Abstract Social connections among individuals are essential components of social‐ecological systems (SESs), enabling people to take actions more effectively adapt or transform in response widespread change. Although scholars have associated social and cognitions with adaptive capacity, measuring actors' networks may further clarify pathways for bolstering resilience‐enhancing actions. We asked how socio‐cognitions, as SES regime shift severity affect individual landscape management...
Abstract The effects of environmental degradation and climate change are propelling a discourse shift towards regenerative agriculture, yet understanding motivations for implementing practices on private agricultural lands is still challenge. We study that challenge within the realm ranching, subcategory agriculture. By examining frequency values articulated by respondents, valuation typology stemming from 24 semi-structured interviews with ranchers in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota...
