چکیده
Acknowledgements We are grateful to Maria Claudia Lopez and members of the Faculty of Environmental and Rural Studies at Javeriana University in Bogotá, Colombia who provided outstanding support for our work in the field. At each site, the experiments would not have been possible without the assistance of local community leaders that helped the research team develop credibility with local community members. We are also indebted to WWF-Colombia for coordinating the fieldwork in the Pacific Region. We received valuable comments and ideas from Sylvia Brandt, James Boyce, Juan Camilo Cardenas, and Samuel Bowles. Wendy Varner and Susanne Hale provided valuable administrative support. Financial support from the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá is gratefully acknowledged. We assume complete responsibility for the final contents of this article.

Comparing the Effectiveness of Regulation and Pro-Social Emotions to Enhance Cooperation: Experimental Evidence from Fishing Communities in Colombia
This paper presents the results from a series of framed field experiments conducted in fishing communities off the Caribbean coast of Colombia. The goal is to investigate the relative effectiveness of exogenous regulatory pressure and pro-social emotions in promoting cooperative behavior in a public goods context. The random public revelation of an individual’s contribution and its consequences...
متن کاملPreferences for Government Enforcement of a Common Pool Harvest Quota: Theory and Experimental Evidence from Fishing Communities in Colombia
We examine individual harvesters’ preferences for government enforcement of a quota imposed on the exploitation of a common pool resource. We develop a model of Nash behavior by identical risk neutral harvesters to explain individual equilibrium preferences for enforcement of an efficient harvest quota. If the quota is not enforced well, we demonstrate that individual harvesters will always pre...
متن کاملEXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL STUDY OF THE STRUCTURAL, MAGNETIC AND ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF THE BA2GDSBO6 PEROVSKITE
In this work the procedure to the synthesis of Ba2GdSbO6 complex perovskite by the solid-state reaction method is reported. Theoretically a study of the crystalline and electronic structure was performed into the framework of the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The most stable structure is obtained to be a rhombohedral perovskite with a lattice constant a=6,0840 Å. Due the occurren...
متن کاملDisturbance of the Marine Benthic Habitat by Commercial Fishing: Impacts at the Scale of the Fishery
Commercial fishing is one of the most important human impacts on the marine benthic environment. One such impact is through disturbance to benthic habitats as fishing gear (trawls and dredges) are dragged across the seafloor. While the direct effects of such an impact on benthic communities appear obvious, the magnitude of the effects has been very difficult to evaluate. Experimental fishing-di...
