“…A similar approach is applied by the U.S. Conservation Reserve Program (Claassen et al, 2008). For an auction to be effective, competition between ES providers is required, implying the need for a sufficiently large number of potential ES providers (Ferraro, 2008;Schilizzi and Latacz-Lohmann, 2013). Auctions can be expensive and difficult to implement, especially when countries have limited institutional capacity and landholders have low levels of information and formal education (FAO, 2007).…”

Payments for environmental services (PES) have become a popular approach to address environmental degradation. However, evidence on its effectiveness is scarce and rather mixed. PES is not a panacea, but there are many cases where PES can be a promising tool. Yet, poor PES design translates into poor performance of the instrument. PES design is a complex task; the devil is in the detail of a number of PES design features. The purpose of this paper is to provide guidance in dealing with this complexity through a comprehensive review of PES design that is accessible to both academics and practitioners. Practitioner guidelines on deciding whether PES is the best approach and for selecting among alternative design features are presented. PES design has to start from a careful understanding of the specific ecological and socioeconomic context. We now know a lot about which design features are best suited to which context. It is time to put these insights into practice. * This paper has emerged from preparing a series of keynote presentations on PES design over the past few years. I thank the participants of these presentations for their questions and feedback. Thanks also to Elisabeth Gsottbauer, Estelle Midler, Sven

This study presents results of an analysis of 1060 academic articles published in the Australian Journal of Agricultural Economics and the Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics from 1957 to 2015. Trends in research topics over time identified by the study include a decline in research on agricultural topics offset by growth in publications related to natural resources, the environment, trade, food and international development. Other trends include an increase in the average number of co‐authors on each paper, a gradual increase in authorship by females, changes in the shares of top contributing institutions, increases in collaboration between institutions and a steady increase in the number of authors from outside Australia or New Zealand.

“…Respondents generally believed that the cost-effectiveness associated with tender implementation increased with their scale. This highlights the presence of increasing returns to scale, whereby the costs of tender implementation are believed to decline as tenders are more widely used, due to improved administrative efficiency and 'learning by doing' by the agency (Schilizzi and Latacz-Lohmann 2012). As experience and familiarity builds within agencies, it is thought that transaction costs will greatly decrease, allowing their cost-effectiveness advantages over flat rate subsidy schemes to be fully realised (Windle and Rolfe 2008).…”
