Abstract In this commentary we critically discuss the suitability of payments for ecosystem services and most important challenges they face. While such instruments can play a role in improving environmental governance, argue that over‐reliance on as win‐win solutions might lead to ineffective outcomes, similar earlier experience with integrated conservation development projects. Our objective is raise awareness, particularly among policy makers practitioners, about limitations encourage...
Abstract Twenty-five years since foundational publications on valuing ecosystem services for human well-being 1,2 , addressing the global biodiversity crisis 3 still implies confronting barriers to incorporating nature’s diverse values into decision-making. These include powerful interests supported by current norms and legal rules such as property rights, which determine whose of nature are acted on. A better understanding how why is (under)valued more urgent than ever 4 . Notwithstanding...

Abstract Policy related transaction costs (TCs) is an important issue when evaluating different policy options. However, TCs are often not taken into account in evaluations, but may be as for efficiency the direct production costs. Different policies result TCs, and main aim of this article to explore possible reasons these differences. We compare level 12 agricultural measures Norway, we analyze causes differences along three dimensions: asset specificity, frequency, point application. At...

<i>Economic valuation of the environment is disputed, in part, due to number anomalies. Reactions these anomalies have included adding new auxiliary hypotheses core model or dismissing whole undertaking. This paper takes a third route, and uses observations made studies improve choice theory. The covers information problem, issue preference formation, underlines role social sphere defining what becomes individually rational. While findings not simplify theory, they may help us become more...
This paper addresses problems related to transferring market concepts non-market domains. More specifically it is about fallacies following from the use of commodity concept in environmental valuation studies. First all, standard practice tends misconstrue ethical aspects choices by forcing them into becoming ordinary trade-off problems. Second, perspective ignores important technical interdependencies within environment and relational character goods. These are all properties that have made...
