“…Financial characteristics, namely agricultural and off farm income affect considerably the decision of landowners (De Francesco et al, 2008;Wossink and van Wenum 2003;Zbinden and Lee, 2005). The effect of rental income on adoption of environmental measures have also been investigated by Lynch and Lovell (2003) and it was anticipated to have a negative sign, though wasn't found significant. In the list of farm characteristics, farm size is considered one of the most important determinants of participation (Lynch and Lovell, 2003;Vanslembrouck et al, 2002), nonetheless the results have been ambiguous (De Francesco et al, 2008).…”

Spatial considerations have in many cases been incorporated as determinants in behavioural models and it has been shown (Lynch and Lovell, 2003;Wassink and Wenum, 2003;Jongenneel et al, 2008) that participation can be spatially diversified. Finally, external factors such as access and level of acquired information (Luzar and Diagne 1999;Bekele and Drake, 2003;Toma and Mathjis, 2006;Zbinden and Lee, 2005) concerning the anticipated conservation measures found to positively affect farmer decision.…”

In Finland, water conservation policy sets equal incentive regardless of the condition of the environment. Before any policy reform, it is vital to investigate landowners' tendency for adoption. In this study we were particularly interested in examining the tendency for adoption if the soil quality implies a high leaching risk or water quality is already poor. For this purpose, survey data were combined with GIS data. Furthermore the aim was to analyse the effect of farm and farmer characteristics and attitudes on adoption. The findings derived by probit models indicated that, for active farmers, financial variables were the key determinants. For passive owners, adoption was also explained by attitudes. Contrary to our expectations, there is no spontaneous tendency for water conservation in deteriorated areas. Targeted agri-environmental measures, even though costly, cannot be avoided.

“…Therefore, studies using qualitative indicators (e.g. Santos et al, 2015;Harman et al, 2015;Kaplowitz et al, 2008;Pruetz and Standridge, 2009;Machemer and Kaplowitz, 2002;Danner, 1997) as well as reviews using quantitative measures (Menghini et al, 2015;Kopits et al, 2008;Lynch and Musser, 2001;Lynch and Lovell, 2003) have been presented. While these studies have led to the identification of several determinants for the successful regional implementation of TDR, we argue that these conclusions are necessarily tied to the respective national and institutional contexts.…”

We consider communication among individual participants competing in a TDR system and team decision-making facilitated by face-to-face communication. We find the system to be quite efficient, despite overshooting certificate prices particularly in the beginning for both initial issuance in auctions and the secondary market. Communication significantly reduces auction prices, leading to substantially less income redistribution from participants to the auctioneer. This effect is explained by participants' improved understanding of the cap & trade system when communicating; despite participants' attempts, they fail to establish collusion. Team decision-making is not only shown to reduce overshooting prices; moreover, it also improves the system's efficiency. These results are interpreted as emphasizing the efficiency and political feasibility of TDR schemes when including communication among its participants. Terms of use: Documents in

“…Economists investigate CE-program impacts, typically with hedonic analyses of capitalized easement values with selection effects (Nickerson and Lynch 2001;Lynch, Gray, and Geoghegan 2007;Liu and Lynch 2011;Schilling, Sullivan, and Duke 2013;Lawley and Towe 2014). Other studies explain CE participation (Lynch and Lovell 2003;Duke 2004), adverse selection, and cost effectiveness (Arnold, Duke, and Messer 2013;Lynch, Gray, and Geoghegan 2010;Horowitz, Lynch, and Stocking 2009), program efficiency (Lynch and Musser 2001), and nonmarket amenity valuation (Bergstrom and Ready 2009;Duke 2008).…”

Agricultural conservation easements have positive externalities but few studies examine the supply-side. This paper explores whether easements may also overcome a credit-market failure, as banks may not be lending based on the full developed value of land. Original survey data test our research hypotheses and show profitable owners and nonoperators to be using easement payments to extract capital from their land by using the preservation programs as a bank. The results also show that the unprofitable owners and operators are reinvesting in their agricultural enterprises. Both results are consistent with an underlying credit-market failure, and the latter suggests that easements may provide indirect efficiency enhancement. The results suggest an integration of policies on agricultural finance and land preservation might lead to improved efficiency.
