| Monetary contributions might not be appropriate welfare measures in contingent valuation (CV) when household incomes are very low. In such cases, willingness to pay (WTP) is restricted by a household's ability to reduce its consumption of other goods to pay for the environmental good under valuation. Beneficiaries, however, may be willing to contribute their time to work on a project instead of paying money. In this context, we assess the benefits of ecosystem services restoration in a rural area of high conservation value in central Chile, using a CV study that includes two WTP questions, one for cash and another for labor payments. The results indicate that labor payments in the form of a number of working hours per week were highly accepted among... |

| La presente investigación, es una evaluación económica que se realizó para obtener la rentabilidad del proyecto denominado: “Restauración Hidrológica Ambiental de la Microcuenca de Aporte a la Población de Mineral de Angangueo, Michoacán, (Microcuenca Carrillo-El Tigre); Mediante la Implementación de Prácticas de Manejo del Agua y Preservación de Suelos (MAPS)”. El proyecto se ejecutó después del fenómeno hidrometeorológico extremo que se presentó en febrero del 2010, dejando cuantiosos daños y pérdidas en el área afectada, la cual presentaba deterioro ambiental, agravando con ello la problemática. Ante tal situación, se propuso establecer prácticas de MAPS (presas de mampostería, gaviones, geocostales y piedra acomodada, así como un cabeceo de cárcava),... |

| Se presenta una propuesta de ampliación del Distrito de Riego 110 “Río Verde – Progreso, Oax.”, como una de las acciones complementarias del proyecto de generación de energía eléctrica “Paso de la Reyna”, impulsada por el Gobierno Federal a través de la Comisión Federal de Electricidad. El proyecto de inversión considera incorporar la superficie dominada por la COTA 35, que parte de la base de la cortina de la presa de regulación que se ubicará aguas abajo de la presa “Paso de la Reyna”, y que suman 8,566 hectáreas. Para fines de análisis, el proyecto de ampliación se dividió en dos partes: a) dos líneas principales de conducción, una a cada margen del Río Verde, que suman una longitud total de 56,307 m y que dominan toda la superficie de ampliación... |

| Despite recent advances, there is a high degree of uncertainty concerning the climate change that would result from increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Also, opponents of the Kyoto Protocol raised the key objection that reducing emissions would impose an unacceptable economic burden on businesses and consumers. Based on an analysis of alternative scenarios for electricity generation in Italy, we show that if the costs in terms of damage to human health, material goods, agriculture, and the environment caused by greenhouse gas emissions are included in the balance, the economic argument against Kyoto is untenable. Most importantly, the argument holds true even if we exclude global external costs (those due to global warming), and account... |

| Around the world, governments are establishing Marine Protected Area (MPA) networks to meet their commitments to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity. MPAs are often used in an effort to conserve biodiversity and manage fisheries stocks. However, their efficacy and effect on fisheries yields remain unclear. We conducted a case-study on the economic impact of different MPA network design strategies on the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) fisheries in Canada. The open-source R package that we developed to analyze this case study can be customized to conduct similar analyses for other systems. We used a spatially-explicit individual-based model of population growth and dispersal coupled with a fisheries management and harvesting component. We... |

| This paper seeks to inform the current "regulatory reform" effort in the U.S. by describing how information from risk assessments and cost-benefit analyses is used by decision makers in six other industrialized countries. In Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Canada and the European Union decision makers deal with uncertainties associated with risk assessments differently than in the U.S. They are less likely to employ "default assumptions" to bridge uncertainties and instead tailor risk evaluations to the chemical in question. Furthermore, while U.S. agencies are sometimes required to pair information from risk assessments with data from cost-benefit analyses in order to estimate how much it costs to stem or avert environmental and health... |

| Energy security, emissions control and environmental concerns are some of the issues that drive India to search for bio-fuels in general and bio-diesel in particular as an alternative source of energy. The inception of National Biofuel Mission in 2003 has resulted in expansion of jatropha plantations in different states of the country. In North-East India, jatropha plantation was started in 2007, mostly at small farmers’ level with direct and indirect initiatives of the government and the private sector. However, adoption and expansion of jatropha plantation in the rural areas largely depend on profitability from such plantations at farmers’ level. The present study has assessed the profitability of jatropha plantation in four states of North-East India,... |
