CONSERVATION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES: CAN INCENTIVES WORK FOR PRIVATE LANDOWNERS?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Langpap,   Christian.
It has been argued that the traditional regulatory approach of the Endangered Species Act, based on land-use restrictions, has failed to protect endangered species on private land. In response, there has been a call for the use of incentives to complement this regulatory approach. This paper examines the potential of incentives programs to elicit conservation-oriented management choices from landowners. Data obtained from a survey of non-industrial private forest owners in Oregon and Washington is used to examine the effectiveness of various incentives. The results indicate that incentives, in particular compensation and assurances, can be effective in increasing the conservation effort provided by landowners. The results also suggest that conservation...

The Problem of the Commons: Still Unsettled after 100 Years
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Stavins,   Robert N.
The problem of the commons is more important to our lives and thus more central to economics than a century ago when Katharine Coman led off the first issue of the American Economic Review. As the U.S. and other economies have grown, the carrying-capacity of the planet - in regard to natural resources and environmental quality — has become a greater concern, particularly for common-property and open-access resources. The focus of this article is on some important, unsettled problems of the commons. Within the realm of natural resources, there are special challenges associated with renewable resources, which are frequently characterized by open access. An important example is the degradation of open-access fisheries. Critical commons problems are also...

Evaluation of Internalisation Processes in Environmental Management Systems: Aquaculture and Offshore Mussel Farming
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Malorgio,   Giulio.
In recent years, particular attention has been paid to fishing activities, and more specifically to aquaculture, a production process whose environmental impact at present is not being adequately submitted to any sort of serious assessment and control.  The impact of aquaculture on the environment has nonetheless become an important issue for both potential customers and public opinion.  The purpose of this study is to appraise environmental protection costs if and when a certified program of environmental management is put into effect in an attempt to change the present situation in which firms only comply with minimum environmental standards.  A survey was conducted of all relevant information regarding production, organization, and budgetary aspects at...
