Could Payments for Ecosystem Services Create an "Ecosystem Service Curse"?
Payments for ecosystem services (PES) have received much praise and are increasingly perceived as a promising tool to ensure the protection of global ecosystems as well as being able to help alleviate poverty in areas rich in ecosystem services.

Both kinds of schemes aim to achieve similar conservation and ...
متن کاملEvaluating Payments for Environmental Services: Methodological Challenges
Over the last fifteen years, Payments for Environmental Services (PES) schemes have become very popular environmental policy instruments, but the academic literature has begun to question their additionality. The literature attempts to estimate the causal effect of these programs by applying impact evaluation (IE) techniques. However, PES programs are complex instruments and IE methods cannot b...

Our work with small-scale marine fisheries integrates the social science of ...
