Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is comprised of three chapters. Chapter 1 provides a new explanation for the observed slow growth of resource-rich economies--a slow-growing resource industry. A dual-sector model illustrates that if a natural-resource industry grows more slowly than the rest of the economy, an increase in resource technology necessarily decreases economic growth. This implies that testing for a resource curse by estimating the conditional relationship between economic growth and resource dependence is insufficient. After neutralizing the confounding effect of a slow-growing natural-resource industry, there is little evidence that a resource curse exists at the country level. This methodology is also applied to the U.S.-county level. The results suggest natural resources act as a catalyst for growth at the sub-national level. Chapter 2 considers the extent to which stated preference surveys suffer from social-pressure bias. I develop a model that predicts social pressure creates greater bias in a referendum relative to a dichotomous-choice mechanism. Experimental evidence supports this theory. Social pressure did not significantly affect response rates in the dichotomous-choice mechanism, whereas as it did in the referendum. This result suggests if one elicits preferences in an environment where subjects experience social pressure, the dichotomous-choice device may be the more reliable elicitation mechanism. Motivated in part by the results given in Chapter 1, Chapter 3 explores how natural-resource wealth may stimulate economic growth. A dynamic growth model suggests income tax rates are decreasing in resource wealth. The model further predicts that decreasing income tax rates stimulates economic growth. U.S.-state data is moderately consistent with this theory. Governments in resource-dependent states tend to have lower income tax rates--suggesting local governments treat resource-based revenue as a substitute for other revenue sources. Examining a cross section of the data suggests decreasing income tax rates stimulates growth. However, consistent with existing literature, a panel of data indicates the relationship between income tax rates and growth is insignificant.

Book excerpt: This book honours Partha Dasgupta, and the field he helped establish; environment and development economics. It concerns the relationship between social systems and natural systems. Above all, it concerns the poverty-environment nexus: the complex pathways by which people become or remain poor, and resources become or remain overexploited.

Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation incorporates various estimation and modeling techniques to investigate important issues in natural resource and environmental economics. All of the empirical examples are tied to forestry, but the techniques used in this research can be applied to many issues in agricultural, environmental, and development economics. The first essay, Optimal Forest Rotations with Environmental Values and Endogenous Fire Risk, presents an economic model that solves for the optimal economic harvest problem of an even-aged stand with the risk of a forest fire and the potential for carbon sequestration benefits. The model incorporates risk-reducing management practices (thinning) that allow risk and growth to be endogenous and is solved using numerical simulation techniques. Results show that higher carbon prices increase the length of rotations regardless of the probability of fire, that there is an increase in management as the stand approaches economic maturity, and that thinning can provide economical and environmental benefits, even when there is a high probability of fire. The second essay, Estimating the Dynamic Factors of Derived Demand for Regional Softwood Stumpage Markets in the United States, uses two econometric models to differentiate between short-run and long-run responses to market fluctuations to estimate the elasticities of supply and demand for regional softwood stumpage. This approach is not common in the U.S. timber and wood production literature that often assumes a static equilibrium or instantaneous factor adjustment. Results indicate that elasticities fluctuate over time and region, and the differences between short-run and long-run measurements can be large due to the slow adjustment of capital stock. The third essay, Exchange Rates and the Competitiveness of the United States Timber Sector in a Global Economy, uses a dynamic optimization model of global timber markets to examine how different exchange rates affect global timber supply. A baseline and six alternative scenarios are constructed under the assumption that exchange rates affect the cost structure of harvesting and managing forests. Results indicate that the US forestry sector is sensitive to both strong US $ policies and to weak South American currencies, with the strong dollar policy having the largest effect on domestic supply.

Book excerpt: The first chapter analyzes whether monetary incentives modify cooperative behavior in activities that have been traditionally uncompensated. In particular, it evaluates whether Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) change cooperation in Mexican common property communities. The analysis explores households' cooperation in forest conservation activities, which for a long time have been done without compensation and are increasingly incentivized under PES. It also explores cooperation in non-forest community activities that remain uncompensated. Findings indicate that cash incentives increase cooperation in activities that are compensated and that the framing of the incentive plays an important role in explaining cooperation in activities that remain uncompensated. Lump-sum transfers without work conditionalities can be more effective than conditional payments to promote cooperation in settings with sanctions for deviant behavior and visible actions. The second chapter simultaneously evaluates the impacts of PES on both avoided deforestation and poverty reduction. For this, it evaluates land cover and wealth impacts of a federal PES program in Mexico. Panel data for program beneficiaries and rejected applicants helps to control for fixed differences and time trends affecting both groups. Findings indicate that the program reduces the expected loss of land cover by 40-51 percent without negatively affecting household wealth. Environmental gains are higher where poverty is low while household gains are higher where deforestation risk is low, illustrating the difficulty of meeting multiple policy goals with one single policy instrument. The third chapter looks at the impacts of increasing female political representation on public policy choices and welfare outcomes. By exploiting the pre-determined position of women in the list of candidates for municipal councilors in Bolivia, together with small margins of difference in the number of votes political parties get, this study uses an innovative regression discontinuity design that is relevant for systems of proportional representation. Findings indicate that women councillors devote more resources to social investments. In particular, they prioritize education, health, and environmental protection giving less attention to infrastructure investments. The impacts of female representation appear only some years after the elections and there is weak evidence on the links between changes in public policy choices and final outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Perrings' book is a well edited, and presented, integrated work based upon nine of his articles and book chapters published between 1989 and 1995.' - Clive L. Spash, Environmental Values Economics of Ecological Resources presents new or recently published work on ecological economies, sustainability, poverty, resource degradation and decision-making under uncertainty. The book explores the allocation of resources in jointly determined ecological-economic systems. An introductory chapter examines the work of other major contributors to the field of ecological economics and introduces Professor Perrings's work and the material in this volume. The first of three parts is concerned with the dynamics of joint systems and with the implications for the control and conservation of ecological resources. The second part focuses on the conditioning effect of the economic environment on private decisions in low income resource-dependent economies. The final part considers the way that decision makers handle the uncertainty that is an integral feature of the evolution of the ecological-economic system.
