How should we incentivize private landowners to 'produce' more biodiversity?
梳理了激励私人土地所有者保护生物多样性的经济政策选项,包括保护拍卖和保护地役权,并讨论了空间协调、按结果付费等设计问题,对政策制定者和环境监管者具有参考价值。
Globally, much biodiversity is found on private land. Acting to conserve such biodiversity thus requires the design of policies which influence the decision-making of farmers and foresters. In this paper, we outline the economic characteristics of this problem, before reviewing a number of policy options such as conservation auctions and conservation easements. We then discuss a number of policy design problems, such as need for spatial coordination and the choice between paying for outcomes rather than actions, before summarizing what the evidence and theory developed to date tells us about those aspects of biodiversity policy design which need careful attention from policy makers and environmental regulators.
