Downward sloping demand for environmental amenities and international compensation: elephant conservation and strategic culling
研究显示,针对大象保护的国际转移支付可能引发宿主国的策略性行为,反而对全球福利和种群存量产生负面影响。
Abstract Conventional wisdom holds that monetary compensation for positive transboundary externalities will promote conservation of resource amenities. We demonstrate that, in the case of elephant conservation, international transfers may also result in strategic behavior by host countries, with adverse implications for global welfare and in situ stocks.
