Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) has received strong support as a major component of future global climate change policy. The financial mechanism of REDD+ is payment for the ecosystem service of carbon sequestration in tropical forests that is expected to create incentives for conservation of forest cover and condition. However, the costs of achieving emissions reduction by these means remain largely unknown. We assess the set-up, implementation, and monitoring costs, i.e., collectively the transaction costs, of six of the first seven REDD+ project designs from the Peruvian Amazon and compare them with established projects in Brazil and Bolivia. The estimated costs vary greatly among the assessed projects from US$0.16 to...

A Revised Conceptual Framework for Payments for Environmental Services

G.; School of Environment and Natural Resources, University of Bangor; julia.jones@bangor.ac.uk; Milner-Gulland, E.

Over the past decade, &amp;#8220;Payments for Environmental Services&amp;#8221; (PES) have received a great deal of attention as a natural-resource management approach. We propose a revised definition and framework for PES implementation that focuses on the use of positive incentives as the philosophy behind PES and conditionality as the method for influencing behaviors. We note the importance of additionality of PES interventions to justify their value in a wider context. Finally, we highlight the need to understand the local institutional context in terms of the characteristics of buyers, sellers, and their relationship for implementation to be effective. Our framework acts as a platform to begin examining how the variety of options for structuring PES...

ADDITIONALITY OF CREDIT GUARANTEES FOR U.S. WHEAT EXPORTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Diersen,   Matthew A.; Wilson,   William W.; Dahl,   Bruce L.; Satyanarayana,   Vidyashankara.
The value of credit guarantee programs has recently been called into question.  Credit guarantees are important marketing tools in the world wheat market, both to develop new markets and to compete in existing markets.  This study examines the additionality of export credit guarantees.  Empirical demand models were developed and estimated using pooled data among importing countries.  Models were estimated for each of the principal exporting countries providing export credit guarantees:  the United States, Canada and France.  Additionality of credit guarantees were also contrasted to the Export Enhancement Program.  Positive additionality was found for CCC guarantees, indicating that the GSM programs have resulted in additional exports that would not have...

Contracting for Impure Public Goods: Carbon Offsets and Additionality
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mason,   Charles F.; Plantinga,   Andrew J.
Governments contracting with private agents for the provision of an impure public good must contend with agents who would potentially supply the good absent any payments. This additionality problem is centrally important in the use of carbon offsets as part of climate change mitigation. Analyzing optimal contracts for forest carbon sequestration, an important offset category, we conduct a national-scale simulation using results from an econometric model of land-use change. The results indicate that for an increase in forest area of 50 million acres, annual government expenditures with optimal contracts are about $4 billion lower compared than under a uniform subsidy.
