Economic Incentives for Controlling Trade-Related Biological Invasions in the Great Lakes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lupi,   Frank; Horan,   Richard D.
Ballast water from commercial ships engaged in international trade has been implicated as the primary invasion pathway in over 60 percent of new introductions of invasive alien species (IAS) in the Great Lakes since 1960. Recent policies have recognized that IAS are a form of biological pollution and have become focused on preventing new introductions. Given that emissions-based incentives are infeasible for the case of biological emissions, we investigate the cost-effectiveness of various performance proxy-based and technology-based economic incentives to reduce the threat of new invasions of Ponto-Caspian species in the Great Lakes.

Farmers as Producers of Clean Water: Getting Incentive Payments Right and Encouraging Farmer Participation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Collins,   Alan R.; Maille,   Peter.
This research involved a field experiment using watershed payments as an incentive for farmers to address agricultural non-point pollution (ANP).  Objectives were to:  (1) describe how payments were estimated for a field experiment; (2) explain why a team approach is needed for ANP; (3) discuss the essential elements used for recruitment of farmers into a field experiment setting; and (4) address whether or not farmers were motivated to participate and pursue ANP abatement.  One year into the experiment, the results are encouraging.  About one-half of farmers who attended meetings are participating.  They own or operate approximately 41% of the agricultural land in the watershed.  Farmer actions to date have included determining an allocation formula for...
